Bernard Greer v. State of West Virginia

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit
Bernard Greer v. State of West Virginia, 710 F. App'x 131 (4th Cir. 2018)

Bernard Greer v. State of West Virginia

Opinion

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

PER CURIAM:

Bernard L. Greer appeals from the district court’s order accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and denying relief on his complaint in which he challenged the constitutionality of West Virginia’s felon dispossession law, which, unlike the federal statute, prohibits the possession of an antique firearm by a convicted felon. See 18 U.S.C. § 921(a)(3)(D) (2012); W. Va. Code Ann. § 61-7-7(a)(1) (LexisNexis Supp. 2017); W. Va. Code Ann. § 61-7-2(11) (LexisNexis 2014). We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. Greer v. State of West Virginia, No. 1:16-cv-00142-IMK-MJA, 2017 WL 3620033 (N.D.W. Va. Aug. 23, 2017). We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
