v.

JOSE RUBEN MEDINA, also known as Jose Rios Medina, also known as Jose
Medina,

                                                 Defendant-Appellant

                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                        for the Southern District of Texas
                             USDC No. 5:14-CR-244-1

Before DAVIS, JONES, and HIGGINSON, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
       Appealing the judgment in a criminal case, Jose Ruben Medina raises an
argument that he concedes is foreclosed by United States v. Morales-Mota, 704
F.3d 410, 412 (5th Cir. 2013), which rejected the argument that the Texas
offense of “burglary of a habitation” is broader than the generic, contemporary
definition of “burglary of a dwelling” under U.S.S.G. § 2L1.2(b)(1)(A)(ii)

       * 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH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: 14-41267    Document: 00513079791     Page: 2   Date Filed: 06/16/2015

                                 No. 14-41267

because it defines the “owner” of a habitation as a person with a “greater right
to possession of the property than the actor.” Accordingly, the motion for
summary disposition is GRANTED, and the judgment of the district court is
AFFIRMED.
