UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff-Appellee

v.

LUIS MARTIN MENDOZA-ACEVES,

Defendant-Appellant

Appeal from the United States District Court

for the Southern District of Texas

USDC No. 1:15-CR-852-1

Before JOLLY, PRADO, and SOUTHWICK, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

Appealing the judgment in a criminal case, Luis Martin Mendoza-Aceves

raises an argument that is foreclosed by United States v. Gonzalez-Longoria, 

831 F.3d 670 (5th Cir. 2016) (en banc), petition for cert. filed (Sept. 29, 2016) 

(No. 16-6259). In Gonzalez-Longoria, we held that 18 U.S.C. § 16(b), which 

defines a crime of violence when incorporated by reference into U.S.S.G. 

§ 2L1.2(b)(1)(C) (2014), is not unconstitutionally vague on its face in light of 

 

* 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.
