Before KING, HAYNES, and HIGGINSON, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
       Appealing the judgment in a criminal case, Rigoberto Figueroa-Benitez
raises an argument that he concedes is foreclosed by United States v.
Rodriguez-Escareno, 700 F.3d 751, 753-54 (5th Cir. 2012), cert. denied, 133
S. Ct. 2044 (2013), 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-trafficking offense. The unopposed motion

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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH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