RODRIGO ESCOBEDO-CORONADO,

                                                 Defendant-Appellant

                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                        for the Southern District of Texas
                            USDC No. 7:16-CR-1311-1

Before BENAVIDES, HIGGINSON, and ENGELHARDT, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
       Rodrigo Escobedo-Coronado appeals his 84-month sentence imposed
following his guilty plea conviction for illegal reentry. He argues on appeal
that the district court erred by imposing a 16-level enhancement under the
crime of violence provision of U.S.S.G. § 2L1.2(b)(1)(A)(ii) (2015). Escobedo-
Coronado contends that Texas aggravated assault is broader than generic
aggravated assault. He concedes that his argument is foreclosed by United

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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH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

                                 No. 18-40067

States v. Guillen-Alvarez, 489 F.3d 197 (5th Cir. 2007), but he argues that
Guillen-Alvarez is contrary to other circuit decisions on this issue. This court
is bound by its own precedent unless and until it is altered by the Supreme
Court.   See Wicker v. McCotter, 798 F.2d 155, 157-58 (5th Cir. 1986).
Accordingly, the district court’s judgment is AFFIRMED.
