Bean v. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco & Firearms
Opinion
ON REMAND FROM THE SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES
On Writ of Certiorari to the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, the United States Supreme Court by an Opinion entered December 10, 2002, in — U.S. -, 123 S.Ct. 584, 154 L.Ed.2d 483, held that the federal district court did not have authority under 18 U.S.C. § 925(c) to grant any relief in favor of Respondent, Bean; and therefore reversed the decision of this Court which had affirmed the action of the district court. Accordingly, we vacate the prior decision of this Court (253 F.3d 234) and remand this appeal to the district court for entry of an order dismissing Bean’s claims for lack of jurisdiction.
