SALVADOR ANTONIO FERNANDEZ-MONTANO,

                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                        for the Southern District of Texas
                             USDC No. 1:08-CR-403-1


Before PRADO, ELROD, and HAYNES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
       Appealing the judgment in a criminal case, Salvador Antonio Fernandez-
Montano 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).
In 
Morales-Mota, 704 F.3d at 412
, this court, relying upon its holding in United
States v. Joslin, 487 F. App’x 139, 141-43 (5th Cir. 2012) (unpublished), cert.
denied, 
133 S. Ct. 1847
(2013), rejected the argument that the Texas offense of


       * 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH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. 13-40716

“burglary of a habitation” is outside 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” of a habitation as a person with a “greater right to possession.”
Accordingly, Fernandez-Montano’s unopposed motion for summary disposition
is GRANTED, and the judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.
