PER CURIAM: *

Appealing the Judgment in a Criminal Case, Mauricio Ivan Vera-Rodriguez presents arguments that he concedes are foreclosed by United States v. Gomez-Herrera, 523 F.3d 554, 557-64 (5th Cir.), petition for cert. filed (July 2, 2008) (No. 08-5226), which held that any disparity in sentencing between fast-track and non-fast-track jurisdictions is a function of Congressional policy and is not “unwarranted” under 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a)(6), and by United States v. Rodriguez, 523 F.3d 519, 526-27 (5th Cir.), petition for cert. filed (June 30, 2008) (No. 08-5101), which held that the lack of a fast-track program does not result in a violation of equal protection rights. See also United States v. Lopez-Velasquez, 526 F.3d 804, 808 (5th Cir.), petition for cert, filed (July 25, 2008) (No. 08-5514). The appellant’s motion for summary disposition is GRANTED, and the judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.
