UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Lyle W. Cayce
Clerk
Plaintiff-Appellee
v.
JOEL VELASQUEZ-RIOS,
Defendant-Appellant
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Texas
USDC No. 7:15-CR-732-1
Before JOLLY, PRADO, and SOUTHWICK, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
Appealing the judgment in a criminal case, Joel Velasquez-Rios raises
an argument that is foreclosed by United States v. Gonzalez-Longoria, 831 F.3d
670 (5th Cir. 2016) (en banc), petition for cert. filed (Sept. 29, 2016) (No. 16-
6259). In Gonzalez-Longoria, we held that 18 U.S.C. § 16(b), which defines a
crime of violence when incorporated by reference into U.S.S.G. § 2L1.2(b)(1)(C)
(2014), is not unconstitutionally vague on its face in light of Johnson v. United
* 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH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: 15-41517 Document: 00513882412 Page: 2 Date Filed: 02/21/2017
No. 15-41517
States, 135 S. Ct. 2551 (2015). Gonzalez-Longoria, 831 F.3d at 672.
Accordingly, the motion for summary affirmance is GRANTED, the alternative
motion for an extension of time to file a brief is DENIED, and the judgment of
the district court is AFFIRMED.
