UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff-Appellee

v.

ABEL RODRIGUEZ-RODRIGUEZ,

Defendant-Appellant

Appeal from the United States District Court

for the Southern District of Texas

USDC No. 7:15-CR-796-1

Before REAVLEY, ELROD, and GRAVES, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

Appealing the judgment in a criminal case, Abel Rodriguez-Rodriguez

raises an argument that is foreclosed by United States v. Rodriguez, 711 F.3d 

541, 562-63 & n.28 (5th Cir. 2013) (en banc), in which we held that the generic, 

contemporary definition of sexual abuse of a minor does not require the age of 

consent to be below 17 years old and does not include an age-differential 

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

 

* 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.

v. Elizondo-Hernandez, 755 F.3d 779, 781-82 (5th Cir. 2014), which held that 

the Texas offense of indecency with a child by contact satisfied the generic 

definition of sexual abuse of a minor. Accordingly, the 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.
