IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS

FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT

No. 15-40440

Conference Calendar

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff-Appellee

v.

ANGEL RAFAEL HERNANDEZ-AMAYA,

Defendant-Appellant

Appeal from the United States District Court

for the Southern District of Texas

USDC No. 7:14-CR-1785-1

Before HIGGINBOTHAM, DENNIS, and HIGGINSON, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

Appealing the judgment in a criminal case, Angel Rafael HernandezAmaya raises an argument that he concedes is foreclosed by United States v. 

Rodriguez, 711 F.3d 541, 562-63 & n.28 (5th Cir. 2013) (en banc), in which we 

held that the generic, contemporary definition of “sexual abuse of a minor” does 

not require a four-year age-differential between the victim and the perpetrator. 

He also raises an argument that he concedes is foreclosed by United States v. 

 

* 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.
