trafficking offense is warranted regardless whether the conviction for the prior
offense required proof of remuneration or commercial activity.
Ramirez-Garza also raises an argument that is foreclosed by United
States v. Rodriguez-Escareno, 700 F.3d 751, 753-54 (5th Cir. 2012), which held
that an enhancement pursuant to § 2L1.2(b)(1)(A)(i) applies to a prior
conviction for the federal crime of conspiracy to commit a federal drug
trafficking offense.
The motion for summary affirmance is GRANTED, the alternative
motion for an extension of time to file a brief is DENIED, and the judgment of
the district court is AFFIRMED.
