Conference Calendar

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff-Appellee

v.

MAURICIO ALEJANDRO VAZQUEZ,

Defendant-Appellant

Appeal from the United States District Court

for the Southern District of Texas

USDC No. 5:14-CR-741-1

Before HIGGINBOTHAM, DENNIS, and HIGGINSON, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

Appealing the judgment in a criminal case, Mauricio Alejandro Vazquez

raises arguments that are foreclosed by United States v. Rodriguez, 711 F.3d 

541, 562-63 & n.28 (5th Cir. 2013) (en banc), in which this court held that the 

generic, contemporary definition of “sexual abuse of a minor” does not require 

that the age of consent be below 17 years old and does not include an age 

differential requirement, and United States v. Elizondo-Hernandez, 755 F.3d 

 

* 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.

779, 782 (5th Cir. 2014), cert. denied, 135 S. Ct. 1011 (2015), in which this court 

held that indecency with a child by contact under Texas Penal Code § 21.11 

satisfied the generic definition of “sexual abuse of minor.” Accordingly, the 

motion for summary disposition is GRANTED, and the judgment of the district 

court is AFFIRMED.
