v.

MARTIN GARZA, JR.,

Defendant-Appellant

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas USDC No. 2:17-CR-88-1

Before DAVIS, CLEMENT and COSTA, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM: * Martin Garza, Jr. appeals his guilty plea conviction of one count of possession with intent to distribute a controlled substance.

As Garza concedes, his argument is foreclosed by United States v. Betancourt, 586 F.3d 303, 308-09 (5th Cir.

* 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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. Case: 17-40781 Document: 00514305131 Page: 2 Date Filed: 01/11/2018
