JOSE ARMANDO PAZ-CRUZ,

                                                 Defendant-Appellant


                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                        for the Southern District of Texas
                             USDC No. 7:15-CR-892-1


Before REAVLEY, ELROD, and GRAVES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
       Appealing the judgment in a criminal case, Jose Armando Paz-Cruz
raises an argument that is foreclosed by United States v. Rodriguez, 711 F.3d
541, 562-63 (5th Cir. 2013) (en banc), in which we held that the generic,
contemporary definition of sexual abuse of a minor does not require the age of
consent to be below 17 years old.            Accordingly, the motion for summary
disposition is GRANTED, and the judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.


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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH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