USDC No. 3:15-CR-109-1
Before JONES, CLEMENT, and OWEN, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
Appealing the judgment in a criminal case, Hector Alejandro Flores-
Garza raises an argument that is foreclosed by Almendarez-Torres v. United
States, 523 U.S. 224, 228, 235 (1998), which held that convictions used to
enhance a sentence under 8 U.S.C. § 1326(b)(2) need not be set forth in the
indictment. Accordingly, the motion for summary affirmance is GRANTED,
* 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH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.
