PER CURIAM:* Appealing the Judgment in a Criminal Case, Alfredo Gonzalez-Cordova raises arguments that are foreclosed by United States v. Garcia-Mendez, 420 F.3d 454, 457 (5th Cir. 2005), which held that a Texas conviction for burglary of a habitation was equivalent to burglary of a dwelling and United States v. Gomez-Guerra, 485 F.3d 301, 303 n.1 (5th Cir.), cert. denied, 128 S. Ct. 156 (2007), which explained that the decision in James v. United States, 127 S.

R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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