Before SMITH, BARKSDALE, and EMILIO M. GARZA, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

Robert L. Loredo appeals his guilty-plea conviction for one

count of being a felon in possession of a firearm. He contends

that there was an insufficient factual basis to support his plea

and that this court should reconsider its jurisprudence regarding

the constitutionality of

(g) in light of Jones v.

United States,

(2000) and United States v.

Morrison,

(2000).

“This court has repeatedly emphasized that the

constitutionality of § 922(g)(1) is not open to question.” See

* 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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. No. 00-40529 -2-

United States v. De Leon,

(5th Cir.), cert.

denied,

(1999). The cases cited by Loredo do not

affect this determination. Consequently, the judgment of the

district court is AFFIRMED.
