Before HIGGINBOTHAM, DENNIS, and HIGGINSON, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

Appealing the judgment in a criminal case, Gabriel Garcia-Gaona raises

2015) (No. 14-10355), that an enhancement under U.S.S.G. § 2L1.2(b)(1)(A)(i) 

for a prior conviction of a drug trafficking offense is warranted regardless 

 

* 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.
