v.
CARLOS RUBEN ZUNIGA
Defendant-Appellant
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Northern District of Texas
USDC No. 4:06-CR-91-1
Before JOLLY, DENNIS, and PRADO, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Carlos Ruben Zuniga pleaded guilty to illegal reentry after deportation
and was sentenced to 60 months of imprisonment and three years of supervised

its discretion in denying the motion. See United States v. Powell, 354 F.3d 362,
370 (5th Cir. 2003).
AFFIRMED.
