United States v. Castro-Coello

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit
United States v. Castro-Coello, 323 F. App'x 354 (5th Cir. 2009)
Elrod, Jolly, Jones, Per Curiam

United States v. Castro-Coello

Opinion

PER CURIAM: *

Appealing the judgment in a criminal case, Francisco Castro-Coello presents arguments that he concedes are foreclosed by United States v. Cepeda-Rios, 530 F.3d 333, 335-36 (5th Cir. 2008), which held that even after Lopez v. Gonzales, 549 U.S. 47, 127 S.Ct. 625, 166 L.Ed.2d 462 (2006), a second state conviction for simple possession of a controlled substance qualifies as an aggravated felony that supports the imposition of an eight-level enhancement under U.S.S.G. § 2L1.2(b)(l)(C). The Government’s motion for summary affir-mance 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Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir R. 47.5.4.
