United States v. Rene Vargas-Alvarez
United States v. Rene Vargas-Alvarez
Opinion
Appealing the judgment in a criminal case, Rene Vargas-Alvarez raises an argument that he concedes is foreclosed by United States v. Martinez-Lugo, 782 F.3d 198, 204-05 (5th Cir. 2015), petition for cert. filed (June 19, 2015) (No. 14-10355). In Martinez-Lugo, 782 F.3d at 204-05, we held that an enhancement under U.S.S.G. § 2L1.2(b)(l)(A)(i) for a prior conviction of a drug-trafficking offense is warranted regardless whether the conviction for the prior offense required proof of remuneration or commercial activity. Accordingly, Vargas-Alvarez’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Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
