April 10, 1998
Before JOLLY, JONES, and DUHÉ, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Juan Antonio Barron-Revilla appeals his sentence following a
guilty plea for reentry after deportation in violation of
8 U.S.C. § 1326. Barron-Revilla argues that he was charged with
and pleaded guilty to simple reentry following deportation under
§ 1326(a) and that he could not be sentenced under § 1326(b)
because the indictment did not allege that he had a prior
aggravated-felony conviction. His argument is foreclosed by the
Supreme Court’s decision in Almendarez-Torres v. United States,
___ U.S. ___, 1998 WL 126904, at *3, *8 (U.S. Mar. 24, 1998).
*
Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined
that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent
except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.
R. 47.5.4.
No. 97-40916
