IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS

FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT

No. 15-41735

Summary Calendar

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff-Appellee

v.

MOISES ULLOA,

Defendant-Appellant

Appeal from the United States District Court

for the Southern District of Texas

USDC No. 5:15-CR-1036-1

Before KING, DENNIS, and COSTA, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

Moises Ulloa pleaded guilty to reentering the United States after having 

previously been removed and was sentenced to 41 months of imprisonment, 

followed by three years of supervised release. In this appeal, he challenges the 

district court’s entry of a judgment under 8 U.S.C. § 1326(b)(2), which provides 

for a maximum sentence of 20 years for an alien whose prior removal was 

subsequent to a conviction for an “aggravated felony.” Ulloa correctly 

 

* 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.

maintains that the qualifying prior felony, a 2012 New York conviction for 

attempted robbery, did not constitute an “aggravated felony” because he was 

not sentenced to a term of imprisonment of at least one year. See § 1326(b)(2); 

8 U.S.C. § 1101(a)(43)(F). Accordingly, Ulloa’s conviction and sentence are 

AFFIRMED. We REMAND the case to the district court for the limited 

purpose of reforming the judgment to reflect Ulloa’s conviction under 

§ 1326(b)(1) instead of § 1326(b)(2).
