No. 23-50909

States, 523 U.S. 224 (1998), and has filed an unopposed motion for summary disposition.

Because the argument is foreclosed, see United States v. Pervis, 937 F.3d 546, 553-54 (5th Cir. 2019), summary disposition is appropriate, see Groendyke Transp., Inc. v. Davis, 406 F.2d 1158, 1162 (5th Cir. 1969).

Accordingly, the motion for summary disposition is GRANTED, and the judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.
