    UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
    Lyle W. Cayce
    Clerk
    Plaintiff-Appellee
    v.
    JESUS ISLAS-SAUCEDO,
    Defendant-Appellant
    Appeal from the United States District Court
    for the Southern District of Texas
    USDC No. 6:13-CR-71-1
    Before JOLLY, HIGGINBOTHAM, and OWEN, Circuit Judges.
    PER CURIAM: *
    Appealing the judgment in a criminal case, Jesus Islas-Saucedo raises
    an argument that he concedes is foreclosed by United States v. Morales-Mota,
    
    704 F.3d 410
    , 412 (5th Cir.), cert. denied, 
    133 S. Ct. 2374
     (2013). In Morales-
    Mota, 704 F.3d at 412, this court rejected the argument that the Texas offense
    of “burglary of a habitation” is broader than the generic, contemporary
    definition of “burglary of a dwelling” under U.S.S.G. § 2L1.2(b)(1)(A)(ii)
    * 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
    be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH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.
    Case: 13-41324    Document: 00512825299     Page: 2   Date Filed: 11/04/2014
    No. 13-41324
    because it defines the “owner” of a habitation as a person with a “greater right
    to possession of the property than the actor.” Accordingly, the unopposed
    motion for summary disposition is GRANTED, and the judgment of the district
    court is AFFIRMED.
