The Government has filed an unopposed motion for summary affirmance, correctly asserting that the issue raised on appeal is foreclosed.
See United States v. Guillen-Alvarez, 489 F.3d 197, 200-01 (5th Cir. 2007).
Sanchez concedes that the sole issue raised on appeal is foreclosed by our precedent, but he seeks to preserve it for further review. Accordingly, summary affirmance is appropriate. See Groendyke Transp., Inc. v. Davis, 406 F.2d 1158, 1162 (5th Cir. 1969). The Government’s motion for summary affirmance is GRANTED, and the district court’s judgment is AFFIRMED. The Government’s alternative motion for an extension of time to file a brief is DENIED as MOOT.
