No. 14-40972 offense is warranted regardless whether the conviction for the prior offense required proof of remuneration or commercial activity.

Gomez-Guerrero also raises an argument that is foreclosed by United States v.

Accordingly, the motion for summary affirmance is GRANTED, the alternative motion for an extension of time to file a brief is DENIED, and the judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.
