Opinion

PER CURIAM: *

Appealing the Judgment in a Criminal Case, Luis Carlos Escajeda raises arguments that are foreclosed by Irizarry v. United States, — U.S. -, 128 S.Ct. 2198, 2203-04, 171 L.Ed.2d 28 (2008), which held that the district court is not required to provide notice prior to sentencing of its sua sponte intention to impose a sentence that is a variance from the recommended sentencing guidelines range. See United States v. Mejia-Huerta, 480 F.3d 713, 723 (5th Cir. 2007), cert. denied, — U.S. -, 128 S.Ct. 2954, — L.Ed.2d - (2008). The Government’s motion for summary affirmance is GRANTED, and the judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.
