United States v. Arevalo

Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit·Decided May 2, 2017·No. No. 16-20112 Summary Calendar·Published

Opinion

PER CURIAM: *

Alexis Geovani Arevalo appeals his 35-month prison sentence for illegally reentering the United States after deportation following a felony conviction, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326(a) and (b)(1). The district court applied a 16-level enhancement under U.S.S.G. § 2L1.2(b)(l)(A)(ii) (2015) because Arevalo’s prior deportation occurred after a felony conviction for a crime of violence, namely, Texas burglary of a habitation.

Arevalo argues that in light of Mathis v. United States, — U.S. -, 136 S.Ct. 2243, 195 L.Ed.2d 604 (2016), the Texas burglary statute is not divisible and is overbroad. This argument is foreclosed. United States v. Uribe, 838 F.3d 667 (5th Cir. 2016), cert. denied, — U.S. -, 137 S.Ct. 1359, 197 L.Ed.2d 542 (2017).

In addition, Arevalo argues for the first time on appeal that the state court record submitted in the district court did not show that he was convicted under the subsection of the Texas burglary statute that supports such an enhancement, Texas Penal Code § 30.02(a)(1). We review this issue for plain error. See United States v. Herrera-Alvarez, 753 F.3d 132, 135-36 (5th Cir. 2014). The supplemental record shows that there was no error, plain or otherwise. See United States v. Fernandez-Cusco, 447 F.3d 382, 386-88 (5th Cir. 2006).

AFFIRMED.
