UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff-Appellee v. WALTER ERNESTO ESCOBAR-MENDOZA, Defendant-Appellant


Conference Calendar Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas
USDC No. 7:14-CR-112-1
Before DAVIS, ELROD, and COSTA, 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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, Walter Ernesto Escobar-Mendoza raises an argument that he concedes is foreclosed by United States v. Rodriguez-Escareno, 700 F.3d 751, 753-54 (5th Cir. 2012), which held that the sentence enhancement provided for in U.S.S.G. § 2L1.2(b)(1)(A)(i) applies to a conviction for the federal crime of conspiracy to commit a federal drug trafficking offense. The unopposed motion for summary disposition is GRANTED, and the judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.
