    UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee v. Raul RODRIGUEZ-CERVANTES, Defendant-Appellant
    No. 16-51310 Summary Calendar
    United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit.
    Filed June 1, 2017
    Joseph H. Gay, Jr., Assistant U.S. Attorney, U.S. Attorney’s Office, Western District of Texas, San Antonio, TX, for Plaintiff-Appellee
    Judy Fulmer Madewell, Assistant Federal Public Defender, Maureen Scott Franco, Federal Public Defender, Federal Public Defender’s Office, Western District of Texas, San Antonio, TX, for Defendant-Appellant
    Before JOLLY, SMITH, and GRAVES, Circuit Judges.
   PER CURIAM:

Raul Rodriguez-Cervantes pleaded guilty to being found in the United States after having been removed and was sentenced to 41 months in prison, to be followed by a three-year term of supervised release. Rodriguez-Cervantes argues on appeal that his indictment charged a violation of only 8 U.S.C. § 1326(a) and failed to invoke the sentencing enhancement in § 1326(b)(2). 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, because Rodriguez-Cervantes’s argument is foreclosed by Almendarez-Torres v. United States, 523 U.S. 224, 118 S.Ct. 1219, 140 L.Ed.2d 350 (1998). As Rodriguez-Cervantes concedes that his argument is foreclosed and is raised only to preserve it for further review, summary judgment is appropriate. See Groendyke Transp., Inc. v. Davis, 406 F.2d 1158, 1162 (5th Cir. 1969). Accordingly, the Government’s motion for 'summary affirmance is GRANTED. The judgment is AFFIRMED. The Government’s alternative motion for an extension of time to file a brief is DENIED. 
      
       Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
