Jose Luis Villarreal-Morales appeals his guilty plea conviction and sentence for illegal reentry following deportation in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326. He contends that his 96-month sentence violated his equal protection rights because he did not have the benefit of a fast-track program in the Northern District of Texas and similarly situated defendants in jurisdictions with the program could receive lower sentences based simply on arbitrary geographic factors. Villarreal-Morales concedes that his argument is foreclosed by circuit precedent, but he raises the argument to preserve it for further review. Based on Villarreal-Morales’s concession, the Government moves for summary affir-mance or dismissal. In the alternative, the Government requests an extension of time in which to file a brief on the merits.

Villarreal-Morales’s equal protection argument is foreclosed by circuit precedent. See United States v. Lopez-Velasquez, 526 F.3d 804, 808 (5th Cir.), petition for cert. filed (July 25, 2008) (No. 08-5514). Accordingly, the district court’s judgment is AFFIRMED, the Government’s motion for summary affirmance is GRANTED, and the Government’s motions for dismissal and an extension of time are DENIED.
