                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                        for the Northern District of Texas
                             USDC No. 5:08-CR-84-1


Before GARZA, DENNIS, and ELROD, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
        Appealing the judgment in a criminal case, Leonal Roman-Cardenas
presents arguments that he concedes are foreclosed by United States v.
Gomez-Herrera, 523 F.3d 554, 563 (5th Cir.), cert. denied, 129 S. Ct. 624 (2008),
which rejected the argument that the Guidelines produce unwarranted
sentencing disparities between defendants who can participate in a fast-track
program and defendants who cannot. 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR .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.
