PER CURIAM: Appealing the Judgment in a Criminal Case, Procopio Ramirez-Gomez (Ramirez) raises arguments 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. See United States v. Pineda-Arrellano, 492 F.3d 624, 625 (5th Cir.2007), petition for cert. filed — U.S. -, 128 S.Ct. 872, 169 L.Ed.2d 737 (2008). Ramirez has served his term of incarceration and has been removed from the United States.
Ramirez also raises arguments that he concedes are foreclosed by United States v. Rosenbaum-Alanis, 483 F.3d 381, 383 (5th Cir.), petition for cert. filed, (June 25, 2007) (No. 06-12082), which held that an appeal of a sentence is moot when the appellant has been removed and is barred from entering the United States. The Government’s motion for
summary affirmance is DENIED. The appeal is DISMISSED. Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
