Opinion

No. 14-20234

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff-Appellee v. LEONEL GARCIA-GARCIA, JR., also known as Leonel Garcia, also known as Jose Garza, also known as Hilderberto Zaldivar, also known as Leonel Garcia Garcia, also known as Leonel J. Garcia, also known as J. Garcia Leonel-Garcia, also known as Leonel G. Garcia, Jr., Defendant-Appellant


Conference Calendar Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas
USDC No. 4:13-CR-638-1
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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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, Leonel Garcia-Garcia, Jr., raises arguments that are foreclosed by United States v. Rodriguez-Salazar, 768 F.3d 437, 437-38 (5th Cir. 2014). In Rodriguez-Salazar, we rejected the argument that the Texas offense of theft is broader than the generic, contemporary definition of theft for purposes of U.S.S.G. § 2L1.2(b)(1)(C) and 8 U.S.C. § 1101(a)(43)(G) because the Texas offense, which includes theft by deception, can be committed by taking property with the owner's consent. Id. Accordingly, the unopposed motion for summary affirmance is GRANTED, the alternative motion for an extension of time to file a brief is DENIED, and the judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.
