MARTIN TEJEDA-SILVA,

                                                  Defendant-Appellant


                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                        for the Southern District of Texas
                            USDC No. 7:12-CR-1466-1


Before HIGGINBOTHAM, SMITH, and GRAVES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
       Appealing the judgment in a criminal case, Martin Tejeda-Silva raises an
argument that he concedes is foreclosed by United States v. Rodriguez, 
711 F.3d 541
, 559-62 & n.28 (5th Cir. 2013) (en banc), petition for cert. filed (June 6, 2013)
(No. 12-10695), in which this court concluded that the generic, contemporary
definition of “sexual abuse of a minor” does not require that the age of consent
be lower than 17 years old and does not include an age-differential requirement.



       *
         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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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.
    Case: 13-40032   Document: 00512347210    Page: 2   Date Filed: 08/20/2013

                               No. 13-40032

The appellant’s motion for summary disposition is GRANTED, and the judgment
of the district court is AFFIRMED.
