IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS

FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT

No. 14-20206

Conference Calendar

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff-Appellee

v.

JUAN BAUTISTA GARCIA-ZELAYA, also known as Jose Garcia, also known 

as Juan B. Garcia, also known as Juan Bautista Garcia Zelaya,

Defendant-Appellant

Appeal from the United States District Court

for the Southern District of Texas

USDC No. 4:13-CR-569-1

Before REAVLEY, SMITH, and GRAVES, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

Appealing the judgment in a criminal case, Juan Bautista Garcia-Zelaya

raises an argument that he concedes is foreclosed by United States v. MoralesMota, 704 F.3d 410, 412 (5th Cir. 2013). In Morales-Mota, 704 F.3d at 412, we

rejected the argument that the Texas offense of “burglary of a habitation” is 

broader than the generic, contemporary definition of “burglary of a dwelling” 

* 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.

Fifth Circuit

Clerk

 

Case: 14-20206 Document: 00513012788 Page: 1 Date Filed: 04/21/2015
No. 14-20206

under U.S.S.G. § 2L1.2(b)(1)(A)(ii) because it defines the “owner” of a 

habitation as a person with a “greater right to possession of the property than 

the actor.” Accordingly, the unopposed motion for summary disposition is 

GRANTED, and the judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.
