Appeal from the United States District Court

for the Southern District of Texas

USDC No. 7:12-CR-1410-1

Before REAVLEY, OWEN, and SOUTHWICK, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM:

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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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, Artemio Garcia, Jr., raises an argument that he concedes 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 the offense under 21 U.S.C. § 841. The appellant's motion for summary disposition is GRANTED, and the judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.
