IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS

FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT

No. 14-41309

Conference Calendar

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff-Appellee

v.

MIGUEL DE LA CRUZ-QUINTANA, also known as Miguel Villamil,

Defendant-Appellant

Appeal from the United States District Court

for the Southern District of Texas

USDC No. 7:14-CR-1005-1

Before JOLLY, GRAVES, and COSTA, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

Appealing the judgment in a criminal case, Miguel De La Cruz-Quintana

raises an argument that is foreclosed by United States v. Izaguirre-Flores, 405 

F.3d 270, 277-78 (5th Cir. 2005), which held that the North Carolina offense of 

taking indecent liberties with a child constituted “sexual abuse of a minor” and 

thus is a crime of violence for purposes of the 16-level enhancement under

U.S.S.G. § 2L1.2(b)(1)(A)(ii).

 

* 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.
