UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff-Appellee,
versus
JIMMY MICHAEL CORK,
Defendant-Appellant.
--------------------
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Northern District of Texas
USDC No. 1:06-CR-2-1
--------------------
Before HIGGINBOTHAM, WIENER, and PRADO, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Appealing the Judgment in a Criminal Case, Jimmy Michael
Cork preserves for further review his contention that his
sentence is unreasonable because it does not adequately consider
his history and characteristics pursuant to 18 U.S.C.
§ 3553(a)(1) and because the sentence is greater than necessary
to comply with the purposes of sentencing set forth in
§ 3553(a)(2). Cork concedes that his argument is foreclosed by
United States v. Mares, 402 F.3d 511 (5th Cir.), cert. denied,
126 S. Ct. 43 (2005), and its progeny, which have outlined this

court’s methodology for reviewing sentences for reasonableness.
The Government’s motion for summary affirmance is GRANTED, and
the judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.
