Defendant-Appellant
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Texas
USDC No. 2:09-CR-220-1
Before JOLLY, STEWART, and OWEN, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Appealing the judgment in a criminal case, Juan Carlos Compian raises
arguments that he concedes are foreclosed by United States v. Betancourt, 586
F.3d 303, 308-09 (5th Cir. 2009), cert. denied, 130 S. Ct. 1920 (2010), which
reaffirmed the holding in United States v. Gamez-Gonzalez, 319 F.3d 695, 700
(5th Cir. 2003), that knowledge of drug type and quantity is not a material
element of the offense. The appellant’s unopposed motion for summary
disposition is GRANTED, and the judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.
