Opinion

IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT United States Court of Appeals Fifth Circuit

FILED December 15, 2009 No. 09-40622 Conference Calendar Charles R. Fulbruge III Clerk

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff-Appellee v.

MARTIN PEREZ-PADRON,

Defendant-Appellant

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas USDC No.2:09-CR-149-1

Before KING, JOLLY, and SOUTHWICK, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM:* Appealing the judgment in a criminal case, Martin Perez-Padron 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

(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)(1)(C). The appellant’s unopposed 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR .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.
