IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT

No. 01-40779 Conference Calendar

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff-Appellee,

versus

BRIJIDO SERVIN-MENDEZ, also known as Martin Mendez-Servin,

Defendant-Appellant.

-------------------- Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas USDC No. B-01-CR-159-1 -------------------- February 20, 2003 Before WIENER, EMILIO M. GARZA, and CLEMENT, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

Brijido Servin-Mendez appeals his guilty-plea conviction for

illegally reentering the United States after deportation. He

argues for the first time on appeal that, despite his consent to

proceed before the magistrate judge, the magistrate judge lacked

jurisdiction to entertain his guilty plea.

* 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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. No. 01-40779 -2-

Servin-Mendez’ argument is foreclosed by this court’s

decision in United States v. Bolivar-Munoz,

(5th Cir. 2002). Accordingly, his conviction is AFFIRMED.
