v.

MAURICIO ALEJANDRO VAZQUEZ,

                                                 Defendant-Appellant

                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                        for the Southern District of Texas
                             USDC No. 5:14-CR-741-1

Before HIGGINBOTHAM, DENNIS, and HIGGINSON, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
       Appealing the judgment in a criminal case, Mauricio Alejandro Vazquez
raises arguments that are foreclosed by United States v. Rodriguez, 711 F.3d
541, 562-63 & n.28 (5th Cir. 2013) (en banc), in which this court held that the
generic, contemporary definition of “sexual abuse of a minor” does not require
that the age of consent be below 17 years old and does not include an age
differential requirement, and United States v. Elizondo-Hernandez, 755 F.3d

       * 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH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.
    Case: 15-40255     Document: 00513241739      Page: 2   Date Filed: 10/22/2015

                                  No. 15-40255

779, 782 (5th Cir. 2014), cert. denied, 135 S. Ct. 1011 (2015), in which this court
held that indecency with a child by contact under Texas Penal Code § 21.11
satisfied the generic definition of “sexual abuse of minor.” Accordingly, the
motion for summary disposition is GRANTED, and the judgment of the district
court is AFFIRMED.
