PER CURIAM:*
Appealing the judgment in a criminal case, Jaime Betancourt-Nunez

commit a federal drug-trafficking offense. The appellant’s motion for summary
disposition is GRANTED, and the judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.

Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.
