United States v. Oviedo-Sandoval

Opinion

PER CURIAM: *

Appealing the Judgment in a Criminal Case, German Oviedo-Sandoval 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 *420 (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 *420 published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
