UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff-Appellee,
versus
RAFAEL RUIZ-MARTINEZ,
Defendant-Appellant.
--------------------
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Northern District of Texas
USDC No. 6:06-CR-41-1
--------------------
Before JOLLY, CLEMENT, and OWEN, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Appealing the Judgment in a Criminal Case, Rafael Ruiz-
Martinez (Ruiz) preserves for further review his contention that
his sentence is unreasonable because this court’s post-Booker**
rulings have effectively reinstated the mandatory Sentencing
Guideline regime condemned in Booker. Ruiz concedes that his
argument is foreclosed by United States v. Mares, 402 F.3d 511
(5th Cir. 2005), and its progeny, which have outlined this
court’s methodology for reviewing sentences for reasonableness.
