IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS

FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT

No. 14-40325

Summary Calendar

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff-Appellee,

v.

VICTOR MANUEL MENDOZA-TOLEDO,

Defendant-Appellant.

Appeal from the United States District Court

for the Southern District of Texas

USDC No. 5:13-CR-1192-1

Before PRADO, OWEN, and GRAVES, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

Victor Manuel Mendoza-Toledo (Mendoza) appeals his 30-month 

sentence for illegal reentry on the ground that the district court erred by 

imposing an enhancement pursuant to U.S.S.G. § 2L1.2(b)(1)(A)(i). As 

Mendoza objected in the district court on this basis, we review the imposition

of the enhancement de novo. See United States v. Morales-Martinez, 496 F.3d 

356, 357 (5th Cir. 2007). We have rejected Mendoza’s reading of Moncrieffe 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.
