United States v. Mauro Varilla-Quevado

365 F. App'x 583
Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit·Decided February 18, 2010·No. 09-40863·Unpublished

Opinion

PER CURIAM: *

Appealing the judgment in a criminal case, Mauro Varilla-Quevado presents arguments that he concedes are foreclosed by United States v. Cepeda-Rios, 530 F.3d 333, 335-36 (5th Cir.2008), which held that even after Lopez v. Gonzales, 549 U.S. 47, 127 S.Ct. 625, 166 L.Ed.2d 462 (2006), a second state conviction for simple possession of a controlled substance qualifies as an aggravated felony that supports the imposition of an eight-level enhancement under United States Sentencing Guideline § 2L1.2(b)(1)(C). The appellant’s unopposed 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Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
