motion for summary affirmance, arguing that Andrade’s argument is foreclosed.
Summary affirmance is appropriate if “the position of one of the parties is clearly right as a matter of law so that there can be no substantial question as to the outcome of the case.” Groendyke Transp., Inc. v. Davis, 406 F.2d 1158, 1162 (5th Cir. 1969). The Government is correct that Andrade’s challenge to his condition of supervised release is foreclosed. See United States v. Diggles, 957 F.3d 551, 560-61 (5th Cir.) (en banc), cert. denied, 2020 WL 6551832 (U.S. Nov. 9, 2020) (No. 20-5836); United States v. Grogan, 977 F.3d 348, 353-54 (5th Cir. 2020). Accordingly, the Government’s motion for summary affirmance is GRANTED, the Government’s alternative motion for an extension of time to file a brief is DENIED, and the judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.
