Having reviewed the record and briefs, we discern no error in the dismissal of Gamboa’s due process claim, see Orellana v. Kyle, 65 F.3d 29, 31-32 (5th Cir. 1995) (per curiam), or his ex post facto violation claim, see Cal. Dep’t of Corrs. v. Morales, 514 U.S. 499, 508-09 (1995); see also Garner v. Jones, 529 U.S. 244, 251 (2000).

AFFIRMED.
