UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee v. Francisco TREJO-MONTOYA, Defendant-Appellant
    No. 16-40752 Summary Calendar
    United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit.
    Filed February 21, 2017
    Amy Howell Alaniz, Assistant U.S. Attorney, Carmen Castillo Mitchell, Assistant U.S. Attorney, U.S. Attorney’s Office, Southern District of Texas, Houston, TX, for Plaintiff-Appellee
    Francisco Trejo-Montoya, Pro Se
    Before KING, DENNIS, and COSTA, Circuit Judges.
   PER CURIAM:

Francisco Trejo-Montoya pleaded guilty to being found in the United States after a previous deportation and received a 77-month prison sentence. He appeals that sentence, arguing that the district court erred by assessing three criminal history points for both his prior robbery and burglary sentences based on the four-year prison terms that he received for each when his probation was revoked. See U.S.S.G. §§ 4Al.l(a), 4A1.2(k)(l). Relying on Application Note 11 to § 4A1.2, he asserts that one of these prior sentences should have received no points because his probation for both offenses was revoked on the same day, he received concurrent sentences upon revocation, and the offenses were too old to qualify for criminal history points absent the addition of the revocation sentences. Because Trejo-Montoya did not object to the calculation of his criminal history score in the district court, we review for plain error only. See United States v. Jasso, 587 F.3d 706, 709 (5th Cir. 2009),

This court had not considered Application Note 11 in this context, and the circuits that have addressed the issue have come to different conclusions. Compare United States v. Flores, 93 F.3d 587, 592 (9th Cir. 1996), and United States v. Streat, 22 F.3d 109, 110-11 (6th Cir. 1994), with United States v. Norris, 319 F.3d 1278, 1286-87 (10th Cir. 2003). Accordingly, the district did not plainly err in assigning three points for each prior sentence. See United States v. Pedrez, 544 Fed.Appx. 376, 376-77 (5th Cir. 2013); United States v. Sanchez-Garcia, 307 Fed.Appx. 829, 830-32 (5th Cir. 2009).

AFFIRMED. 
      
       Pursuant to 5th Cir. R, 47,5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
