United States of America, Plaintiff—Appellee, versus Fernando Bailon-Carrillo, Defendant—Appellant.
Case: 21-50115 Document: 00516037273 Page: 2 Date Filed: 09/30/2021 No. 21-50115 c/w No. 21-50116
Appeals from the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas USDC No. 4:20-CR-426-1 USDC No. 4:16-CR-531-1
Before Wiener, Dennis, and Haynes, Circuit Judges.
Per Curiam:* Fernando Baylon-Carrillo appeals the sentence imposed following his guilty plea conviction to entry after deportation under 8 U.S.C. § 1326(a) and (b)(2), along with the revocation of the term of supervised release he was serving at the time of the offense. Because his appellate brief does not address the validity of the revocation or the revocation sentence, he abandons any challenge to them. See Yohey v. Collins, 985 F.2d 222, 224-25 (5th Cir. 1993).
On appeal, Baylon-Carrillo argues the sentencing enhancement scheme of § 1326(b) is unconstitutional in view of Apprendi v. New Jersey, 530 U.S. 466 (2000), and Alleyne v. United States, 570 U.S. 99 (2013). The Government has filed a motion for summary affirmance or, in the alternative, an extension of time to file a brief. As Baylon-Carrillo concedes, his argument is foreclosed by Almendarez-Torres v. United States, 523 U.S. 224 (1998). See United States v. Pervis, 937 F.3d 546, 553-54 (5th Cir. 2019), cert. denied, 2021 WL 2519078 (U.S. June 21, 2021) (No. 19-7113). Accordingly, summary affirmance is appropriate. See Groendyke Transp., Inc. v. Davis, 406 F.2d 1158, 1162 (5th Cir. 1969).
* Pursuant to 5th Circuit Rule 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Circuit Rule 47.5.4.
