IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS

FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT

No. 16-40176

Conference Calendar

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff-Appellee

v.

MARIANO LOPEZ-LOPEZ,

Defendant-Appellant

Appeal from the United States District Court

for the Southern District of Texas

USDC No. 1:15-CR-820-1

Before HIGGINBOTHAM, JONES, and HIGGINSON, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

Appealing the judgment in a criminal case, Mariano Lopez-Lopez raises 

an argument that is foreclosed by United States v. Rodriguez-Salazar, 768 F.3d 

437 (5th Cir. 2014). In Rodriguez-Salazar, 768 F.3d at 437-38, we rejected the 

argument that the Texas offense of theft is broader than the generic, 

contemporary definition of theft because the Texas offense, which includes 

theft by deception, may be committed by taking property with the owner’s 

consent. Accordingly, the motion for summary disposition is GRANTED, and 

the judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.

 

* 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.
