Appealing the Judgment in a Criminal Case, Adan Perez-Guzman
raises arguments that are foreclosed by Almendarez-Torres v.

offense. The Government’s motion for summary affirmance is
GRANTED, and the judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.

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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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.
