USDC No. 3:06-CR-1573-ALL
Before DENNIS, CLEMENT, and PRADO, Circuit Judges.

Appealing the Judgment in a Criminal Case, Francisco Javier Rendon-
Lopez 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.
