v.
JOSE DANIEL ARRIAGA-LEYVA, also known as Jose Daniel Arriaga,
Defendant-Appellant
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Western District of Texas
USDC No. 3:10-CR-540-1
Before BENAVIDES, DENNIS, and SOUTHWICK, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Appealing the judgment in a criminal case, Jose Daniel Arriaga-Leyva
presents an argument that he concedes 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 Government’s motion for summary affirmance is
GRANTED, its alternative motion for an extension of time to file a brief is
DENIED, 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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.
