IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS

FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT

No. 19-50376

Summary Calendar

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff-Appellant

v.

JUANA GONZALEZ-MORALES,

Defendant-Appellee

Appeal from the United States District Court

for the Western District of Texas

USDC No. 3:19-CR-428-1

Before CLEMENT, ELROD, and OLDHAM, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

Appealing the district court’s dismissal of an indictment charging an 

offense under 8 U.S.C. § 1326, the Government moves for summary disposition, 

arguing that the dismissal was erroneous in light of our recent decision in 

United States v. Pedroza-Rocha, 933 F.3d 490 (5th Cir. 2019), petition for cert. 

filed (U.S. Nov. 6, 2019) (No. 19-6588). Juana Gonzalez-Morales does not 

oppose the motion. We agree with the Government. 

* 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.
