UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff - Appellee v. JORGE OLALDE-GONZALEZ, Defendant - Appellant


Summary Calendar Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas
USDC No. 6:15-CR-8-1

ON REMAND FROM THE SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES

Before REAVLEY, SMITH, and HAYNES, 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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. --------

The Supreme Court granted Jorge Olalde-Gonzalez's petition for writ of certiorari, vacated this court's judgment, and remanded the case for further consideration in light of Mathis v. United States, 136 S.Ct. 2243 (2016). See Olalde-Gonzalez v. United States, 137 S.Ct. 296 (2016) (mem.). While the defendant raised multiple contentions on appeal, the only issue presented in light of Mathis is whether the district court plainly erred by enhancing the defendant's sentence based on a prior Texas burglary conviction. Prior to Mathis, the defendant conceded that his argument was foreclosed by United States v. Conde-Castaneda, 753 F.3d 172 (5th Cir. 2014). See United States v. Olalde-Gonzalez, 642 F. App'x 426, 428 (5th Cir. 2016.).

The Fifth Circuit has since confronted the issue of whether Mathis "disturbs Conde-Castaneda," and we held "that it does not." United States v. Uribe, 838 F.3d 667, 670 (5th Cir. 2016). Following Uribe, we held this case in abeyance while the Uribe defendant sought en banc review. The petition for rehearing en banc was denied on January 30, 2017, and this case is ripe for disposition. Uribe controls. Accordingly, the sentence is AFFIRMED.
