Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Texas
USDC No. 5:05-CR-944
--------------------
Before BARKSDALE, DeMOSS, and PRADO, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Appealing the Judgment in a Criminal Case, Juan Carlos
Rangel-Puente raises arguments that are foreclosed by United
States v. Slaughter, 238 F.3d 580, 582-84 (5th Cir. 2000), which
held that Apprendi v. New Jersey, 530 U.S. 466 (2000), did not
render 21 U.S.C. § 841 unconstitutional on its face. 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this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except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. R. 47.5.4.
