Case Information
*1 Before REAVLEY, OWEN, and ELROD, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: [*]
Benito Gomez-Jimenez appeals the 60-month sentence imposed following his guilty plea and conviction for being found in the United States without permission, following removal. He contends that the district court erred by enhancing his sentence under United States Sentencing Guideline § L1.2(b)(1)(A)(ii) (2015) based on a determination that his conviction for burglary of a habitation under Texas Penal Code § 30.02 was equivalent to *2 Case: 16-41620 Document: 00514002362 Page: 2 Date Filed: 05/22/2017
No. 16-41620
a conviction for the generic offense of “burglary of a dwelling,” which was enumerated in the a pplication notes accompanying § 2L1.2 as a “crime of violence.” Gomez-Jimenez argues that, in light of Mathis v. United States , 136 S. Ct. 2243 (2016), § 30.02 defines a single indivisible offense too broad to meet the generic definition of burglary of a dwelling, and that the district court erred when it narrowed his offense of conviction using the modified categorical approach.
In U nited States v. Conde-Castaneda , 753 F.3d 172, 175-76 (5th Cir. 2014), this court held that § 30.02 is a divisible statute and that courts may apply the modified categorical approach to determine which of the three subsections in § 30.02(a) formed the basis of a defendant’s conviction. This court reaffirmed that decision in United States v. Uribe , 838 F.3d 667, 669-71 (5th Cir. 2016), cert. denied , 137 S. Ct. 1359 (2017), specifically determining that Mathis did not alter its prior holding. Although Gomez-Jimenez contends that Uribe was wrongly decided, he concedes that his argument is foreclosed by that decision.
Accordingly, Gomez-Jimenez’s motion for summary disposition is GRANTED and the judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.
