ROBERTO MORALES-LOPEZ,
Defendant-Appellant.

Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Western District of Texas
(EP-95-CR-607-ALL)
_________________________________________________________________
October 21, 1996
Before KING, SMITH, and EMILIO M. GARZA, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Roberto Morales-Lopez appeals his sentence for illegal reentry
after deportation, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326. He argues,
based on his interpretation of 8 U.S.C. § 1101(a)(43), that his
prior conviction for burglary of a vehicle could not be considered
an aggravated felony under 8 U.S.C. § 1326(b)(2) because this
offense was not defined as an aggravated felony when committed,
before the effective date of the 1990 amendments to the immigration
laws. This issue is foreclosed by United States v. Garcia-Rico, 46
F.3d 8, 9-10 (5th Cir.), cert. denied, 115 S. Ct. 2596 (1995).
*
Pursuant to Local Rule 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this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except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 Local Rule 47.5.4.
AFFIRMED.
