                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                        for the Southern District of Texas
                            USDC No. 7:14-CR-1724-1


Before DAVIS, SMITH, and PRADO, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
       Appealing the judgment in a criminal case, Joaquin Robles-Vaca raises
an argument that is foreclosed by United States v. Martinez-Lugo, 
782 F.3d 198
, 204-05 (5th Cir.), cert. denied, 
136 S. Ct. 533
(2015). In 
Martinez-Lugo, 782 F.3d at 204-05
, we held that an enhancement under U.S.S.G.
ยง 2L1.2(b)(1)(A)(i) for a prior felony conviction of a drug trafficking offense is
warranted regardless whether the conviction for the prior offense required


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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH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

proof of remuneration or commercial activity. Accordingly, the motion for
summary disposition is GRANTED, and the judgment of the district court is
AFFIRMED.
