United States v. Echavarria-Espinoza

298 F. App'x 396

Opinion

PER CURIAM: *

Appealing the Judgment in a Criminal Case, Jose Maria Echavarria-Espinoza raises arguments that are foreclosed by United States v. Garcia-Mendez, 420 F.3d 454, 457 (5th Cir.2005), which held that a conviction under Tex. Penal Code Ann. § 30.02(a)(1) for burglary of a habitation is a crime of violence for purposes of U.S.S.G. § 2L1.2 because it is equivalent to the enumerated offense of burglary of a dwelling and United States v. Cardenas- Cardenas, 548 F.3d 731 (5th Cir.2008), which held that James v. United States, 550 U.S. 192, 127 S.Ct. 1586, 167 L.Ed.2d 532 (2007) does not undermine our conclusions in Garcia-Mendez. The Government’s motion for summary affirmance is GRANTED, and the judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.
