Before REAVLEY, STEWART, and CLEMENT, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

Appealing the Judgment in a Criminal Case, Sergio Rivas-

Pruneda raises arguments that are foreclosed by United States v.

Garcia-Mendez, 420 F.3d 454, 457 (5th Cir. 2005), cert. denied,

126 S. Ct. 1398 (2006), which held that a Texas conviction for

burglary of a habitation was equivalent to burglary of a dwelling

and therefore was a crime of violence under U.S.S.G. § 2L1.2.

The Government’s motion for summary affirmance 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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.
