    v.
    JESUS RODRIGUEZ-PENA,
    Defendant-Appellant
    Appeal from the United States District Court
    for the Southern District of Texas
    USDC No. 7:14-CR-195-1
    Before DAVIS, JONES, and HIGGINSON, Circuit Judges.
    PER CURIAM: *
    Appealing the judgment in a criminal case, Jesus Rodriguez-Pena raises
    arguments that he concedes are foreclosed by United States v. Rodriguez, 
    711 F.3d 541
    , 562-63 & n.28 (5th Cir. 2013) (en banc), in which we held that the
    generic, contemporary definition of “sexual abuse of a minor” does not require
    the age of consent to be below 17 years old and does not include the asserted
    age-differential requirement. He also raises an argument that he concedes is
    * 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
    be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH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: 14-41143    Document: 00513079544     Page: 2   Date Filed: 06/16/2015
    No. 14-41143
    foreclosed by United States v. Elizondo-Hernandez, 
    755 F.3d 779
    , 782 (5th Cir.
    2014), cert. denied, 
    135 S. Ct. 1011
     (2015), which held that the Texas offense of
    indecency with a child by contact satisfied the generic definition of “sexual
    abuse of a minor.” Accordingly, the unopposed motion for summary disposition
    is GRANTED, and the judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.
