                             USDC No. 5:12-CR-292-1

Before HIGGINBOTHAM, SMITH, and GRAVES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
       Appealing the judgment in a criminal case, Daniel Villegas-Marquez 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. 1847
(2013), rejected the argument that the Texas offense of “burglary of a habitation”
is outside the generic, contemporary definition of “burglary of a dwelling” under

       *
         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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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.

                                 No. 12-41448

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.” The appellant’s motion for summary
disposition is GRANTED, and the judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.
