United States v. Castillo
United States v. Castillo
Opinion
IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT
No. 02-20410 Conference Calendar
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff-Appellee,
versus
FERNANDO CASTILLO, JR.,
Defendant-Appellant.
-------------------- Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas USDC No. H-01-CR-808-ALL -------------------- February 20, 2003
Before WIENER, EMILIO M. GARZA, and CLEMENT, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Fernando Castillo, Jr., pleaded guilty to being a felon in
possession of a firearm, in violation of
18 U.S.C. §§ 922(g)(1)
and 924(a)(2). He argues that his conviction should be reversed
because
18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1) is unconstitutional on its face and
as applied. He concedes, however, that this argument is
foreclosed and raises the issue to preserve it for possible
Supreme Court review.
* 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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. 02-20410 -2-
Castillo’s argument is indeed foreclosed by this court’s
decisions in United States v. Cavazos,
288 F.3d 706, 712(5th Cir.), cert. denied,
123 S. Ct. 253(2002) and United States
v. Daugherty,
264 F.3d 513, 518(5th Cir. 2001), cert. denied,
534 U.S. 1150(2002). Accordingly, his conviction is AFFIRMED.
