CESAR HERNANDEZ LOZANO, also known as Cesar Lozano Hernandez, also

Before HIGGINBOTHAM, SMITH, and GRAVES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
       Appealing the judgment in a criminal case, Cesar Hernandez Lozano
raises an argument that he concedes is foreclosed by United States v. Morales-
Mota, 704 F.3d 410, 412 (5th Cir.), cert. denied, 133 S. Ct. 2374 (2013). In
Morales-Mota, 704 F.3d at 412, this court, relying upon its holding in United
States v. Joslin, 487 F. App’x 139, 141-43 (5th Cir. 2012), cert. denied, 133 S. Ct.

R. 47.5.4.

habitation” is outside the generic, contemporary definition of “burglary of a
dwelling” under U.S.S.G. § 2L1.2(b)(1)(A)(ii) because it defines the “owner” of a
habitation as a person with a “greater right to possession.” Accordingly, the
Government’s motion for summary affirmance is GRANTED, its alternative
motion for an extension of time to file a brief is DENIED, and the judgment of
the district court is AFFIRMED.
