UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff-Appellee

v.

LEONARDO OLGUIN-CARDENAS,

Defendant-Appellant

Appeal from the United States District Court

for the Southern District of Texas

USDC No. 7:14-CR-1259-1

Before REAVLEY, ELROD, and HAYNES, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

Appealing the judgment in a criminal case, Leonardo Olguin-Cardenas

raises an argument that is foreclosed by United States v. Martinez-Lugo, 782 

F.3d 198, 204-05 (5th Cir.), cert. denied, 136 S. Ct. 533 (2015). In MartinezLugo, 782 F.3d at 204-05, we held that an enhancement under U.S.S.G. 

§ 2L1.2(b)(1)(A)(i) for a prior felony conviction for a drug trafficking offense is 

 

* 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.

warranted regardless whether the conviction for the prior offense required 

proof of remuneration or commercial activity. 

He also raises an argument that is foreclosed by United States v. 

Rodriguez-Escareno, 700 F.3d 751, 753-54 (5th Cir. 2012), which held that a 

federal conviction for conspiracy to commit a drug trafficking offense qualifies 

for the § 2L1.2(b)(1)(A)(i) enhancement.

Accordingly, the Government’s motion for summary affirmance is

GRANTED, the alternative motion for an extension of time to file a brief is 

DENIED, and the judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.
