v.

ALEJANDRO MARTINEZ-TAVERA, also known as Alejandro Tavera-Martinez,

                                                  Defendant-Appellant

                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                        for the Southern District of Texas
                             USDC No. 7:11-CR-232-1

Before JONES, Chief Judge, and JOLLY and SMITH, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
        Appealing the judgment in a criminal case, Alejandro Martinez-Tavera
raises an issue that he concedes is foreclosed by United States v. Ayala, 542 F.3d
494, 494-95 (5th Cir. 2008), which held that the Texas offense of indecency with
a child under seventeen years of age is sexual abuse of a minor for purposes of
the U.S.S.G. § 2L1.2 crime of violence enhancement. The appellant’s motion for
summary disposition is GRANTED, and the judgment of the district court is
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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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.
