UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff-Appellee v. AGUSTINE SANCHEZ-HERNANDEZ, also known as Agustin Sanchez, Defendant-Appellant


Conference Calendar Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas
USDC No. 7:14-CR-395-1
Before DAVIS, JONES, and HIGGINSON, 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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, Agustine Sanchez-Hernandez raises an argument that he concedes is foreclosed by United States v. Rodriguez, 711 F.3d 541, 562-63 & n.28 (5th Cir. 2013) (en banc), in which we held that the generic, contemporary definition of "sexual abuse of a minor" does not require the age of consent to be below 17 years old and does not include the asserted age-differential requirement. He also raises an argument that he concedes is foreclosed by United States v. Elizondo-Hernandez, 755 F.3d 779, 782 (5th Cir. 2014), cert. denied, 135 S. Ct. 1011 (2015), which held that the Texas offense of indecency with a child by contact satisfied the generic definition of "sexual abuse of minor." Accordingly, the unopposed motion for summary disposition is GRANTED, and the judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.
