No. 24-11078

his Sixth Amendment rights and Article III, Section 2 of the United States Constitution by revoking his supervised release for the commission of a new crime based on a preponderance of the evidence and without a jury trial. The Government has filed an unopposed motion for summary affirmance or, alternatively, for an extension of time to file its brief.

Gatlin correctly concedes that his argument is foreclosed. See United States v. Hinson, 429 F.3d 114, 117-19 (5th Cir. 2005) (holding that revocation of supervised release is not part of a criminal prosecution and therefore does not require a jury trial or proof beyond a reasonable doubt under the Sixth Amendment). Because summary affirmance is appropriate here, see Groendyke Transp., Inc. v. Davis, 406 F.2d 1158, 1162 (5th Cir. 1969), the Government’s motion for summary affirmance is GRANTED, its alternative motion for an extension of time is DENIED, and the judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.
