UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee v. Eleuterio PEREZ-RAYOS, Defendant-Appellant, 235 F. App'x 290

PER CURIAM: Appealing the Judgment in a Criminal Case, Eleuterio Perez-Rayos raises arguments challenging the constitutionality of 8 U.S.C. § 1326(

b) and 21 U.S.C. § 851 that he concedes are foreclosed by Almendarez-Torres v. United States, 523 U.S. 224, 235, 118 S.Ct. 1219, 140 L.Ed.2d 350 (1998), which held that 8 U.S.C. § 1326(b)(2) is a penalty provision and not a separate criminal offense. The Govern-merit’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 Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
