December 9, 1998
Before DAVIS, DeMOSS, and STEWART, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
The appellants pleaded guilty to illegally reentering the
country after having been deported. They argue that the district
court erred when it increased their offense levels by 16 under
U.S. Sentencing Guidelines § 2L1.2(b)(1)(A) for their prior state
drug convictions. They contend that, because their state felony
drug convictions would be only misdemeanors under federal law,
their prior convictions were not “drug-trafficking crime[s]”
under 18 U.S.C. § 924(c)(2) and did not constitute “aggravated
felon[ies]” for purposes of § 2L1.2(b)(1)(A). Their argument is
foreclosed by United States v. Hinojosa-Lopez, 130 F.3d 691, 694
(5th Cir. 1997). The appellants’ convictions and sentences are
*
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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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.
