United States v. Agustin Morales-Alfaro

Opinion

PER CURIAM: *

Agustín Morales Alfaro appeals from his guilty-plea conviction for illegally reenter *165 ing the United States after having been deported subsequent to a felony conviction and his 23-month sentence. He argues that he should not have received an eight-level increase under U.S.S.G. § 2L1.2(b)(l)(C) because his Texas conviction for burglary of a motor vehicle is not an “aggravated felony” for purposes of that guideline. He also appeals the revocation of a prior term of supervised release.

Morales’s arguments challenging the eight-level enhancement are foreclosed by this court’s holdings in United States v. Ramos-Garcia, 95 F.3d 369, 371-72 (5th Cir. 1996), and United States v. Rodriguez-Guzman, 56 F.3d 18, 20-21 (5th Cir. 1995), overruled on other grounds, as recognized in United States v. Turner, 305 F.3d 349, 350 (5th Cir. 2002).

Morales presents no claims of error with respect to the revocation proceeding or sentence. Thus, he has abandoned any issues on appeal regarding the revocation judgment. See Yohey v. Collins, 985 F.2d 222, 224-25 (5th Cir. 1993).

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Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under *165 the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
