Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit April 21, 2004, No. 03-50189 (United States v. Reis)

PER CURIAM.*

Jose Maria Reis appeals the sentence imposed following his guilty plea conviction of being found in the United States after deportation/removal in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326. Reis contends that 8 U.S.C. § 1326(a) and 8 U.S.C. § 1326(b) define separate offenses. He argues that the prior conviction that resulted in his increased sentence is an element of a separate offense under 8 U.
