IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS

FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT

No. 15-40934

Conference Calendar

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff-Appellee

v.

DANIEL CASTILLO-DE LA PORTILLA, also known as Sergio CantuHernandez,

Defendant-Appellant

Appeal from the United States District Court

for the Southern District of Texas

USDC No. 7:13-CR-1768-1

Before DAVIS, SMITH, and PRADO, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

Appealing the judgment in a criminal case, Daniel Castillo-De La 

Portilla raises an argument that is foreclosed by United States v. MoralesMota, 704 F.3d 410, 412 (5th Cir. 2013). In Morales-Mota, 704 F.3d at 412, we

rejected the argument that the Texas offense of “burglary of a habitation” is 

broader than the generic, contemporary definition of “burglary of a dwelling” 

 

* 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.

under U.S.S.G. § 2L1.2(b)(1)(A)(ii) because it defines the “owner” of a 

habitation as a person with “a greater right to possession of the property than 

the actor.” Accordingly, the motion for summary disposition is GRANTED, and 

the judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.
