     Case: 15-10670      Document: 00513956934         Page: 2    Date Filed: 04/18/2017

                                   No. 15-10670 c/w
                                    No. 15-10870

PER CURIAM: *
       Adrian Gomez-Ureaba pleaded guilty to illegal reentry into the United
States and received a within-guidelines sentence of 34 months in prison and a
one-year term of supervised release. Silvano Garcia-Ibarra likewise pleaded
guilty to illegal reentry, and he received a within-guidelines sentence of 18
months in prison and a three-year term of supervised release. Each appellant
was sentenced in accordance with a determination that his prior Texas
conviction for evading arrest with a motor vehicle amounted to an aggravated
felony under U.S.S.G. § 2L1.2(b)(1)(C) (2014), which incorporates the
definition of crime of violence found in 18 U.S.C. § 16(b).
       First, the appellants argue that, in light of Johnson v. United States, 135
S. Ct. 2551 (2015), § 16(b) is facially unconstitutional. As they concede, this
argument is foreclosed. See United States v. Gonzalez-Longoria, 831 F.3d 670,
677 (5th Cir. 2016) (en banc), petition for cert. filed (Sept. 29, 2016) (No. 16-
6259). Their argument that § 16(b) is unconstitutional as applied to them
likewise fails, as the standard of § 16(b) can be straightforwardly applied to
their prior convictions. See Gonzalez-Longoria, 831 F.3d at 677-78; see also
United States v. Sanchez-Ledezma, 630 F.3d 447, 450-51 (5th Cir. 2011).
       Finally, their argument that Johnson casts doubt upon Sanchez-
Ledezma is unpersuasive. Because the former case is not squarely on point
with the latter, we will not revisit the latter. See United States v. Traxler, 764
F.3d 486, 489 (5th Cir. 2014); United States v. Alcantar, 733 F.3d 143, 145-46
(5th Cir. 2013).
       AFFIRMED.

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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH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