    UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee v. Angel HERNANDEZ-CIFUENTES, Defendant-Appellant
    No. 16-40550 Summary Calendar
    United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit.
    Date Filed: 10/24/2016
    Renata Ann Gowie, Assistant U.S. Attorney, U.S. Attorney’s Office, Southern District of Texas, Houston, TX, for Plaintiff-Appellee
    Marjorie A. Meyers, Federal Public Defender, Michael Lance Herman, Assistant Federal Public Defender, Federal Public Defender’s Office, Southern District of Texas, Houston, TX, for Defendant-Appellant
    Before JOLLY, SMITH, and GRAVES, Circuit Judges.
   PER CURIAM:

Angel Hernandez-Cifuentes appeals the sentence he received following his guilty plea conviction for illegal reentry. He argues that the district court erred in assessing a 16-level increase under U.S.S.G. § 2L1.2(b) based on the determination that he was previously deported following a conviction for a crime of violence (COY). Hernandez-Cifuentes contends that his prior Georgia conviction for aggravated assault is not a GOV because the Georgia offense is broader than the generic definition of aggravated assault as it does not require an intent to injure but instead requires only the intent to commit an act that places another in reasonable apprehension of injury. Hernandez-Cifuentes cites to United States v. Hernandez-Rodriguez, 788 F.3d 193 (5th Cir. 2015), in support of his contentions.

The arguments raised by Hernandez-Cifuentes are identical to those raised by the defendant and rejected by this court in United States v. Torres-Jaime, 821 F.3d 577, 582-85 (5th Cir. 2016), petition for cert, filed (Sept. 1, 2016) (No. 16-5853). Relying on prior unpublished decisions and the Model Penal Code, the Torres-Jaime court held that the Georgia offense was the equivalent of the generic offense of aggravated assault under the common sense' approach. Id. Thus, the district court did not err in determining that Hernandez-Cifuentes’s prior Georgia conviction for aggravated assault was a COV and in applying the 16-level § 2L1.2(b) enhancement.

Accordingly, Hernandez-Cifuentes’s motion for summary disposition is GRANTED, and the judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED. 
      
       Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
