v.

CESAR LEONEL MIRELES-VARGAS,

                                                 Defendant-Appellant

                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                        for the Southern District of Texas
                              USDC No. 1:15-CR-5-1

Before DAVIS, SMITH, and PRADO, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
       Appealing the judgment in a criminal case, Cesar Leonel Mireles-Vargas
raises an argument that is foreclosed by United States v. Morales-Mota, 704

CIR. R. 47.5.4.

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.
