v.
LORETO RAMOS-PABLO,
Defendant-Appellant
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Northern District of Texas
USDC No. 3:15-CR-134-1
Before REAVLEY, PRADO, and GRAVES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
Loreto Ramos-Pablo pleaded guilty to illegal reentry after removal from
the United States and was sentenced to 41 months in prison, to be followed by
a two-year term of supervised release. Ramos-Pablo argues on appeal that his
indictment failed to invoke the sentencing enhancement in 8 U.S.C.
§ 1326(b)(2), as his indictment failed to allege the existence of a prior
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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH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. R. 47.5.4.

conviction. He contends that his sentence exceeds the statutory maximum
penalty for a conviction under § 1326(a) and violates his due process rights.
The Government has filed an unopposed motion for summary
affirmance, asserting that Ramos-Pablo’s argument is foreclosed by
Almendarez-Torres v. United States, 523 U.S. 224 (1998). As Ramos-Pablo
concedes that his argument is foreclosed and is raised only to preserve it for
further review, summary affirmance is appropriate. See Groendyke Transp.,
Inc. v. Davis, 406 F.2d 1158, 1162 (5th Cir. 1969). Accordingly, the motion for
summary affirmance is GRANTED, the alternative motion for an extension of
time to file a brief is DENIED, and the judgment of the district court is
AFFIRMED.
