PER CURIAM: * Gerardo Zavala-Amador appeals the 57-month sentence imposed following his conviction for illegal reentry. He contends that the district court erred in treating his prior conviction for indecency with a child under Texas Penal Code § 21.11(a)(1) as a crime of violence within the meaning of U.S.S.G. § 2L1.2(b)(1)(A)(ii) and an aggravated felony within the meaning of 8 U.S.C. 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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: 13-20571 Document: 00512860773 Page: 2 Date Filed: 12/08/2014 No. 13-20571 § 1101(a)(43). His arguments are foreclosed by our decisions in United States v.
