No. 02-20293 Conference Calendar

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff-Appellee,

versus

RODERICK EARL BONNER,

Defendant-Appellant.

-------------------- Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas USDC No. H-01-CR-424-1 -------------------- December 12, 2002

Before JOLLY, JONES, and CLEMENT, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

Roderick Earl Bonner appeals his conviction of being a felon

in possession of a firearm. He argues, relying on United States

v. Lopez,

(1995), that

(g)(1) is

required for a

(g)(1) conviction, his indictment

and the evidence supporting his conviction were insufficient.

He acknowledges that his arguments are foreclosed by this

court’s decisions in United States v. Rawls,

(5th

Cir. 1996); United States v. Daugherty,

(5th Cir.

2001), cert. denied,

(2002); see also United States

v. Cavazos,

(5th Cir.), cert. denied,

(2002), but seeks to preserve the argument for further

review.

As noted by Bonner, his arguments are foreclosed by the

cases cited above. His conviction is AFFIRMED.
