    UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Armando TORRES-LUNA, Defendant-Appellant.
    No. 05-41441.
    Summary Calendar.
    United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit.
    Decided July 11, 2006.
    James Lee Turner, Assistant U.S. Attorney, U.S. Attorney’s Office, Southern District of Texas, Houston, TX, for PlaintiffAppellee.
    Marjorie A. Meyers, Federal Public Defender, Margaret Christina Ling, Laura Fletcher Leavitt, Assistant Federal Public Defenders, Federal Public Defender’s Office, Southern District of Texas, Houston, TX, for Defendant-Appellant.
    Before HIGGINBOTHAM, BENAVIDES and DENNIS, Circuit Judges.
   PER CURIAM:

Armando Torres-Luna (Torres) appeals his guilty-plea conviction and the 36-month sentence imposed for being found illegally present in the United States following deportation. He argues that the Government breached the plea agreement by failing to orally recommend that he be sentenced at the low end of his guideline range. Torres has not shown a breach of the plea agreement, under plain-error review, given that the Government’s recommendation was included in his presentence report. See United States v. Reeves, 255 F.3d 208, 210 (5th Cir.2001). Moreover, contrary to Torres’s assertions, the Government’s failure to concur in his motion for a downward departure did not constitute an affirmative request for a specific sentence in contravention of the plea agreement.

Torres also asserts that the “felony” and “aggravated felony” provisions of 8 U.S.C. § 1326(b) are facially unconstitutional. The constitutional issue raised is foreclosed by Almendarez-Torres v. United States, 523 U.S. 224, 235, 118 S.Ct. 1219, 140 L.Ed.2d 350 (1998). Although Torres contends that Almsndarez-Torres was incorrectly decided and that a majority of the Supreme Court would overrule it in light of Apprendi v. New Jersey, 530 U.S. 466, 120 S.Ct. 2348, 147 L.Ed.2d 435 (2000), we have repeatedly rejected such arguments on the basis that AlmendarezTorres remains binding. See United States v. Garza-Lopez, 410 F.3d 268, 276 (5th Cir.), cert. denied, — U.S.-, 126 S.Ct. 298, 163 L.Ed.2d 260 (2005). Torres properly concedes that his argument is foreclosed in light of Almendarez-Torres and circuit precedent, but he raises it here to preserve it for further review.

The district court’s judgment 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       Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
