v.
AMRI JARED GONZALEZ,
Defendant-Appellant
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Texas
USDC No. 1:15-CR-674-1
Before JONES, CLEMENT, and OWEN, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
Appealing the judgment in a criminal case, Amri Jared Gonzalez raises
an argument that is foreclosed by United States v. Betancourt, 586 F.3d 303,
308-09 (5th Cir. 2009), which held that knowledge of drug type and quantity is
not an element of a 21 U.S.C. § 841 offense. Accordingly, the motion for
summary disposition is GRANTED, and the judgment of the district court is
AFFIRMED.
* 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH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.
