AGUSTINE SANCHEZ-HERNANDEZ, also known as Agustin Sanchez,

                                                 Defendant-Appellant


                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                        for the Southern District of Texas
                             USDC No. 7:14-CR-395-1


Before DAVIS, JONES, and HIGGINSON, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
       Appealing the judgment in a criminal case, Agustine Sanchez-
Hernandez raises an argument that he concedes is foreclosed by United States
v. Rodriguez, 711 F.3d 541, 562-63 & n.28 (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 and does not include
the asserted age-differential requirement. He also raises an argument that he


       * 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH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. 14-40876

concedes is foreclosed by United States v. Elizondo-Hernandez, 755 F.3d 779,
782 (5th Cir. 2014), cert. denied, 135 S. Ct. 1011 (2015), which held that the
Texas offense of indecency with a child by contact satisfied the generic
definition of “sexual abuse of minor.” Accordingly, the unopposed motion for
summary disposition is GRANTED, and the judgment of the district court is
AFFIRMED.
