                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                        for the Southern District of Texas
                             USDC No. 4:17-CR-112-1

Before HIGGINBOTHAM, HO, and ENGELHARDT, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
       Oscar Segura-Romero appeals his conviction for illegal reentry following
deportation after having been previously convicted of an aggravated felony. He
argues that his conviction under Texas Penal Code §§ 22.01(a)(1) and (b)(2) did
not constitute an aggravated felony for purposes of 8 U.S.C. § 1326(b)(2). The

       * 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH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: 17-20561     Document: 00515107409      Page: 2   Date Filed: 09/06/2019

                                  No. 17-20561

Government has moved, unopposed, for summary affirmance and, in the
alternative, for an extension of time in which to file a brief.
      Segura-Romero’s argument is foreclosed by United States v. Gracia-
Cantu, 920 F.3d 252, 254 (5th Cir. 2019), petition for cert. filed (U.S. June 25,
2019) (No. 18-1593). Gracia-Cantu held that a prior conviction for Assault-
Family Violence under Texas Penal Code §§ 22.01(a)(1) and (b)(2) fell within
18 U.S.C. § 16(a), thereby qualifying as a crime of violence and an aggravated
felony for purposes of § 1326(b)(2). 920 F.3d at 254. Summary affirmance is
therefore appropriate.
      Accordingly, the Government’s unopposed motion for summary
affirmance is GRANTED, the alternative motion for an extension of time is
DENIED AS MOOT, and the judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.
