DANIEL MORENO-PRETEL,

                                                 Defendant-Appellant


                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                        for the Southern District of Texas
                             USDC No. 1:13-CR-327-1


Before CLEMENT, PRADO, and ELROD, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
       Appealing the judgment in a criminal case, Daniel Moreno-Pretel
(Moreno) raises an argument that he concedes is foreclosed by United States v.
Morales-Mota, 
704 F.3d 410
, 412 (5th Cir.), cert. denied, 
133 S. Ct. 2374
(2013),
which rejected the argument that the Texas offense of “burglary of a
habitation” is broader than the generic, contemporary definition of “burglary
of a dwelling” under U.S.S.G. § 2L1.2(b)(1)(A)(ii) because it defines the “owner”


       * 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH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. 13-41211

of a habitation as a person with a “greater right to possession of the property
than the actor.” Moreno’s motion for summary disposition is GRANTED, and
the judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.
