deportation. He contends that the district court erred by imposing a sixteen-
level enhancement under United States Sentencing Guidelines § 2L1.2 based on
his conviction of statutory rape under Georgia Code Annotated § 16-6-3(a)
(2005). He particularly argues that his offense does not satisfy the “generic, con-
temporary meaning” of the enumerated offenses of “statutory rape” or “sexual
abuse of a minor” because the statute of conviction prescribes a three-year age
differential between the victim and the defendant, rather than four years.
      The sole argument raised by Ramirez-Loarca is foreclosed by United States
v. Rodriguez, 711 F.3d 541 (5th Cir. 2013) (en banc). There, we applied a “plain-
meaning” approach to determine the “generic, contemporary meaning” of “stat-
utory rape” and “sexual abuse of a minor” and concluded that the generic defini-
tions of those offense categories do not include any specific age differential. Id.
at 561-62 & n.28. We expressly rejected the claim that the statute at issueSS
§ 21.11(a)(1) of the Texas Penal CodeSSdid not satisfy the “generic, contemporary
meaning” of “sexual abuse of a minor” because the statute prescribed a three-
year instead of a four-year age differential between the victim and the defen-
dant. Id. at 562 n.28.
      In light of Rodriguez, Ramirez-Loarca has not shown that it was error for
the district court to impose a sixteen-level enhancement under § 2L1.2 based on
his conviction of statutory rape under § 16-6-3(a). Thus, the judgment of sen-
tence is AFFIRMED.
