Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas, USDC No. 4:09-CR-80-1.
Before JOLLY, STEWART, and OWEN, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:[fn*]
[fn*] 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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.
Appealing the judgment in a criminal case, Peter M. Espinosa presents arguments that he concedes are foreclosed as this court has repeatedly held that a sentencing judge may find by a preponderance of the evidence all the facts necessary to the determination of a sentencing guidelines range. See,e.g., United States v. Rhine, 583 F.3d 878, 891 (5th Cir. 2009); United States v. Stevens, 487 F.3d 232,245-46 (5th Cir. 2007); United States v. Johnson,445 F.3d 793, 798 (5th Cir. 2006). The Government's motion for summary affirmance is GRANTED, and the judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.
