United States v. Voisine

U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit
United States v. Voisine, 495 F. App'x 101 (1st Cir. 2013)

United States v. Voisine

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

Defendant-Appellant Stephen L. Voisine asks us to reconsider arguments heard in and decided by this court regarding: (1) whether 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(9) should be construed to exclude a purportedly nonviolent offensive physical contact misdemeanor conviction as a predicate offense; and (2) whether applying § 922(g)(9) to such a prior conviction would violate a particular defendant’s Second Amendment rights. See United States v. Booker, 644 F.3d 12 (1st Cir. 2011); United States v. Nason, 269 F.3d 10 (1st Cir. 2001). The Court considered and denied the exact same arguments in United States v. Arm *102 strong, III, 706 F.Bd 1 (1st Cir. 2012). Since there are no pertinent factual differences distinguishing the instant case from Armstrong, we accordingly incorporate its reasoning here and affirm the district court’s denial of Defendant-Appellant’s motion to dismiss the indictment.

So Ordered.
