Appeal from the United States District Court

for the Southern District of Texas

USDC No. 4:12-CR-683-1

Before DAVIS, DENNIS, and CLEMENT, 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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, Jose De Jesus Cedillo raises an argument that he concedes is foreclosed by United States v. Morales-Mota, 704 F.3d 410, 412 (5th Cir.), cert. denied, 133 S. Ct. 2374 (2013). In Morales- Mota, 704 F.3d at 412, this court, relying upon its holding in United States v. Joslin, 487 F. App'x 139, 141-43 (5th Cir. 2012), cert. denied, 133 S. Ct. 1847 (2013), rejected the argument that the Texas offense of "burglary of a habitation" is outside the generic, contemporary definition of "burglary of a dwelling" under U.S.S.G. § 2L1.2(b)(1)(A)(ii) because it defines the "owner" of a habitation as a person with a "greater right to possession." Accordingly, the appellant's motion for summary disposition is GRANTED, and the judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.
