______________________________ Appeals from the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas USDC Nos. 4:23-CR-350-1, 4:20-CR-338-1 ______________________________ Before Davis, Southwick, and Higginson, Circuit Judges.
Per Curiam: * Genaro Alberto Nunez Ugarte appeals from his conviction for illegal reentry in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326(a), as well as from the revocation of a previously imposed term of supervised release. Nunez Ugarte contends for the first time on appeal that the statutory sentencing enhancement in § 1326(b) is unconstitutional. He concedes that this argument is foreclosed by Almendarez-Torres v. United States, 523 U.S. 224 (1998), and has filed an unopposed motion for summary disposition.
Because the claim is foreclosed, see United States v. Pervis, 937 F.3d 546, 553-54 (5th Cir. 2019), summary disposition is warranted, see Groendyke Transp. Inc. v. Davis, 406 F.2d 1158, 1162 (5th Cir. 1969). Thus, the motion for summary disposition is GRANTED, and the judgments of the district court are AFFIRMED.
