Defendant-Appellant.
--------------------
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Northern District of Texas
USDC No. 3:03-CR-228-3
--------------------
Before REAVLEY, STEWART, and CLEMENT, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Appealing the Judgment in a Criminal Case, Clinton Jennings
raises arguments that are foreclosed by United States v. Burns,
433 F.3d 442, 450-51 (5th Cir. 2005), which held that an
otherwise valid appeal waiver is not rendered invalid, or
inapplicable to an appeal seeking to raise an error pursuant to
United States v. Booker, 543 U.S. 220 (2005), merely because the
waiver was made before Booker. Jennings also raises arguments
that are foreclosed by United States v. Austin, 432 F.3d 598,
*
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this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except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.
No. 05-10720
-2-
599-600 (5th Cir. 2005), which held that the application of
Booker’s remedial opinion to a sentencing hearing where the
underlying offense was committed pre-Booker does not violate
constitutional due process or ex post facto requirements. The
Government’s motion for summary affirmance is GRANTED, and the
judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.
