IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS

FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT

No. 14-40616

Conference Calendar

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff-Appellee

v.

MARIO ALBERTO AVALOS-GALVAN,

Defendant-Appellant

Appeal from the United States District Court

for the Southern District of Texas

USDC No. 1:13-CR-820-1

Before DAVIS, ELROD, and COSTA, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

Appealing the judgment in a criminal case, Mario Alberto Avalos-Galvan 

raises an argument that he concedes is foreclosed by United States v. MoralesMota, 704 F.3d 410, 412 (5th Cir. 2013), which rejected the argument that the 

Texas offense of “burglary of a habitation” is broader than the generic, 

contemporary definition of “burglary of a dwelling” under U.S.S.G. 

§ 2L1.2(b)(1)(A)(ii) because it defines the “owner” of a habitation as a person 

* 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.
