Before HIGGINBOTHAM, SMITH, and GRAVES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Appealing the judgment in a criminal case, Jose Luis Lopez-Bernal raises

Escareno, 700 F.3d 751, 753-54 (5th Cir. 2012), cert. denied, 133 S. Ct. 2044
(2013), which held that the sentence enhancement provided for in U.S.S.G.
§ 2L1.2(b)(1)(A)(i) applies to a conviction for the federal crime of conspiracy to
commit a federal drug-trafficking offense. The appellant’s motion for summary
disposition is GRANTED, and the judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.
