Appeal from the United States District Court

USDC No. 3:05-CR-2704-ALL
--------------------
Before REAVLEY, JOLLY, and BENAVIDES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Appealing the Judgment in a Criminal Case, Juan Carlos
Duron-Moreno raises arguments that are foreclosed by Almendarez-
Torres v. United States, 523 U.S. 224, 235 (1998), which held
that 8 U.S.C. § 1326(b)(2) is a penalty provision and not a
separate criminal offense. The Government’s motion for summary
affirmance is GRANTED, and the judgment of the district court is
AFFIRMED.
