Cayce Clerk UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff-Appellee v. BYRON JONES, also known as Big Baby Jones; DELOYD JONES, also known as Puggy Jones; SIDNEY PATTERSON, also known as Duda Man Patterson, Defendants-Appellants Appeals from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana USDC No. 2:13-CR-205-2 USDC No. 2:13-CR-205-1 USDC No. 2:13-CR-205-7 Before JOLLY, JONES, and SOUTHWICK, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM: * Bryon Jones, Deloyd Jones, and Sidney Patterson appeal the judgments entered after remand for resentencing on their “numerous felonies related to their membership in a group called Ride or Die.” United States v. Jones, 873 F.3d 482, 488 (5th Cir. 2017); see also United States v. Jones, 935 F.3d 266, 269 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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. * Case: 19-30935 Document: 00515463124 Page: 2 Date Filed: 06/23/2020 No. 19-30935 (5th Cir. 2019). The defendants’ arguments are foreclosed by the law-of-thecase doctrine. See United States v. Lee, 358 F.3d 315, 320 (5th Cir. 2004). They have filed unopposed motions for summary disposition of their appeals, conceding that their arguments are foreclosed. Because summary disposition is appropriate, see Groendyke Transp., Inc. v. Davis, 406 F.2d 1158, 1162 (5th Cir. 1969), the defendants’ unopposed motions for summary disposition are GRANTED, and the district court’s judgments are AFFIRMED. The alternative motions for extensions of time to file merits briefs are DENIED. 2
