United States v. Garcia-Franco
United States v. Garcia-Franco
Opinion
Appealing the Judgment in a Criminal Case, Abraham Garda-Franco raises arguments that are foreclosed by United States v. Aguirre-Villa, 460 F.3d 681, 683 (5th Cir. 2006), which held that the district court’s refusal to factor in, when sentencing a defendant, the sentencing disparity caused by early disposition programs does not render a sentence unreasonable, and by Almendarez-Torres v. United States, 523 U.S. 224, 235, 118 S.Ct. 1219, 140 L.Ed.2d 350 (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.
Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
