Case: 15-40546 Document: 00513308097 Page: 1 Date Filed: 12/15/2015 IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT No. 15-40546 Conference Calendar United States Court of Appeals Fifth Circuit FILED December 15, 2015 UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff-Appellee Lyle W. Cayce Clerk v. DANIEL ESCOBAR-ROJAS, Defendant-Appellant Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas USDC No. 5:14-CR-511-1 Before JONES, SOUTHWICK, and COSTA, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM: * Appealing the judgment in a criminal case, Daniel Escobar-Rojas raises an argument that he concedes is foreclosed by United States v. Rodriguez, 711 F.3d 541, 562-63 (5th Cir. 2013) (en banc), in which we held that the generic, contemporary definition of “sexual abuse of a minor” does not require that the age of consent be below 17 years old. The motion for summary disposition is GRANTED, and the judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED. 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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. *
