Appealing the Judgment in a Criminal Case, Antonio Mendoza-Vera raises arguments that are foreclosed by Almendarez-Torres v. United States, 523 U.S. 224, 235, 118 S.Ct. 1219, 140 L.Ed.2d 350 (1998), which held that a prior conviction is a sentencing factor under 8 U.S.C. § 1326(b)(2) and not a separate criminal offense, and by United States v. Mares, 402 F.3d 511, 520 (5th Cir. 2005), cert. denied — U.S. -, — S.Ct. -, — L.Ed.2d -, 2005 WL 816208 (2005), and its progeny, which held that unpreserved claims based on United States v. Booker, — U.S. -, 125 S.Ct. 738, 160 L.Ed.2d 621 (2005), are reviewed for plain error. The Government’s motion for summary affirmance is GRANTED, and the judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.
