   United States of America,

                                                                      Plaintiff—Appellee,

                     ______________________________

                     Appeal from the United States District Court
                         for the Northern District of Texas
                              USDC No. 4:21-CR-211-1
                     ______________________________

   Before Wiener, Stewart, and Douglas, Circuit Judges.
   Per Curiam: *
         Defendant-Appellant Cuedell Javon Henry appeals his conviction and
   sentence for possession of a stolen firearm, in violation of 18 U.S.C.
   §§ 922(j), 924(a)(2), and 2. He contends that his prior conviction for Texas
   aggravated robbery is not a crime of violence under U.S.S.G. § 4B1.2(a).
   Henry acknowledges that this argument is foreclosed by our precedent but

         _____________________

Case: 22-10909       Document: 00516864144           Page: 2   Date Filed: 08/18/2023

                                      No. 22-10909

   seeks to preserve it for further review. The government filed an opposed
   motion for summary affirmance or, in the alternative, an unopposed motion
   for an extension of time to file its brief.
          As Henry concedes, his position is foreclosed. See United States v.
   Santiesteban-Hernandez, 469 F.3d 376, 380–81 (5th Cir. 2006), abrogated on
   other grounds by United States v. Rodriguez, 711 F.3d 541 (5th Cir. 2013) (en
   banc). We have reaffirmed that holding and concluded that Texas robbery
   qualifies as a crime of violence under § 4B1.2(a)(2). See United States v.
   Adair, 16 F.4th 469, 470–71 (5th Cir. 2021), cert. denied, 142 S. Ct. 1215
   (2022). The government is correct that summary affirmance is appropriate.
   See Groendyke Transp., Inc. v. Davis, 406 F.2d 1158, 1162 (5th Cir. 1969).
          The government’s motion for summary affirmance is GRANTED,
   the government’s alternative motion for an extension of time to file a brief is
   DENIED AS MOOT, and the district court’s judgment is AFFIRMED.
