Defendant-Appellant.

Before DeMOSS, BENAVIDES, and STEWART, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Don Stamps appeals his guilty-plea conviction of possession
of a firearm by a convicted felon, a violation of
18 U.S.C. § 922(g).
Stamps argues that, as a matter of law, the factual basis
offered in support of his guilty plea was insufficient to support
the interstate-commerce element of his offense, because it showed
nothing more than the guns traveled across state lines at some
point in the past. He concedes that this argument is foreclosed
* 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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. 02-20148 -2-
by circuit precedent. See United States v. Daugherty,
264 F.3d 513, 518 & n.12 (5th Cir. 2001), cert. denied,
122 S. Ct. 1113(2002). He raises the issue to preserve it for Supreme Court
review.
AFFIRMED.
