IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS

FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT

No. 13-40618

Summary Calendar

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff-Appellee

v.

JOSE GILBERTO VILLATORO-ORTEZ,

Defendant-Appellant

Appeal from the United States District Court

for the Southern District of Texas

USDC No. 7:13-CR-63

Before STEWART, Chief Judge, and PRADO and HAYNES, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

Jose Gilberto Villatoro-Ortez (Villatoro) appeals the sentence imposed 

following his guilty plea conviction for being unlawfully present in the United 

States following removal. He argues that the district court erred by applying 

a 16-level enhancement for his being removed following a conviction for a drug 

trafficking offense for which the sentence was greater than 13 months of 

imprisonment.

 

* 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.

the appeal of his sentence is moot. See United States v. Rosenbaum-Alanis, 

483 F.3d 381, 382 (5th Cir. 2007); United States v. Ramon, 320 F.3d 519, 519-
