v.

FELIX REYES-MARTINEZ, also known as Felix Reyes-Mendez, also known
as Jose Luis Ortez,

                                                 Defendant-Appellant

                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                        for the Southern District of Texas
                             USDC No. 7:15-CR-322-1

Before DAVIS, SMITH, and PRADO, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
       Appealing the judgment in a criminal case, Felix Reyes-Martinez raises
an argument that is foreclosed by United States v. Morales-Mota, 704 F.3d 410,
412 (5th Cir. 2013).       In Morales-Mota, 704 F.3d at 412, we 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.

       * 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH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: 15-40984    Document: 00513384724     Page: 2   Date Filed: 02/17/2016

                                 No. 15-40984

§ 2L1.2(b)(1)(A)(ii) 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.
