UNITED STATES OF AMERICA v. HECTOR PARRALES GUZMAN (2017)

United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit.

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff-Appellee v. HECTOR PARRALES-GUZMAN, also known as Hector Guzman Parrales, also known as Hector Guzman Perales, also known as Hector Parrales Guzman, also known as Hector Perales-Guzman, also known as Hector Parrales, Defendant-Appellant

No. 16-20700

Decided: November 08, 2017

Before KING, ELROD, and HIGGINSON, Circuit Judges.

Hector Parrales-Guzman appeals his conviction of illegal reentry under 8 U.S.C. § 1326(a) and (b)(1). He contends that his prior removal ultimately rested on the application of the crime of violence definition in 8 U.S.C. § 16(b), which he argues is unconstitutionally vague. He correctly acknowledges that his argument is foreclosed by circuit precedent. United States v. Gonzalez-Longoria, 831 F.3d 670, 672 (5th Cir. 2016) (en banc), petition for cert. filed (Sept. 29, 2016) (No. 16-6259). Accordingly, we GRANT the Government's motion for summary affirmance, and we AFFIRM the judgment of the district court. The Government's alternative motion for an extension of time to file a brief is DENIED as unnecessary.
