                   Appeal from the United States District Court

                             USDC No. 2:15-CR-594-1


Before JONES, CLEMENT, and OWEN, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
       Appealing the judgment in a criminal case, Christian Aguilar-
Hernandez raises an argument that is foreclosed by United States v. Rodriguez,
711 F.3d 541
, 562-63 & n.28 (5th Cir. 2013) (en banc), in which we held that
the generic, contemporary definition of sexual abuse of a minor does not
require the age of consent to be below 17 years old and does not include an age-
differential requirement. He also raises an argument that is foreclosed by


       * 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH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. 15-41512

United States v. Elizondo-Hernandez, 
755 F.3d 779
, 781-82 (5th Cir. 2014),
which held that the Texas offense of indecency with a child by contact satisfied
the generic definition of sexual abuse of a minor. Accordingly, the motion for
summary disposition is GRANTED, and the judgment of the district court is
AFFIRMED.
