Before PRADO, ELROD, and HAYNES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
       Appealing the judgment in a criminal case, Fidel Alfaro-Jimenez 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-

Alfaro-Jimenez’s unopposed motion for summary disposition is GRANTED,
and the judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.
