UNITED STATES v. GAMEZ CASTANEDA (2020)

United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit.

UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Brenda Yadira GAMEZ-CASTANEDA, Defendant-Appellant.

No. 20-40125

Decided: September 04, 2020

Before Jolly, Elrod, and Graves, Circuit Judges.

Carmen Castillo Mitchell, Assistant U.S. Attorney, U.S. Attorney's Office, Southern District of Texas, Houston, TX, for Plaintiff-Appellee Mark Glendon Parenti, Parenti Law, P.L.L.C., Houston, TX, for Defendant-Appellant

Brenda Yadira Gamez-Castaneda appeals her sentences for conspiracy to transport aliens within the United States and illegal reentry. As Gamez-Castaneda acknowledges, her as-applied Sixth Amendment sentencing challenge is foreclosed by circuit precedent. See United States v. Hernandez, 633 F.3d 370, 374 (5th Cir. 2011); Groendyke Transp., Inc. v. Davis, 406 F.2d 1158, 1162 (5th Cir. 1969). Accordingly, we GRANT her motion for summary disposition and AFFIRM the judgment of the district court.
