                             USDC No. 7:14-CR-112-1

Before DAVIS, ELROD, and COSTA, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
       Appealing the judgment in a criminal case, Walter Ernesto Escobar-
Mendoza raises an argument that he concedes is foreclosed by United States v.
Rodriguez-Escareno, 700 F.3d 751, 753-54 (5th Cir. 2012), which held that the
sentence enhancement provided for in U.S.S.G. § 2L1.2(b)(1)(A)(i) applies to a
conviction for the federal crime of conspiracy to commit a federal drug

       * 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH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.
