Opinion

United States Court of Appeals Fifth Circuit F I L E D IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT June 25, 2003 Charles R. Fulbruge III Clerk No. 02-21218 Conference Calendar

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff-Appellee, versus EDDIE GREEN, Defendant-Appellant.

-------------------- Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas USDC No. H-02-CR-73-1 -------------------- Before DeMOSS, DENNIS, and PRADO, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:* Eddie Green (“Green”) appeals his conviction for being a felon in possession of a firearm in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1) and § 924(a)(2). Green contends that 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1) is unconstitutional. Green acknowledges that his appellate arguments are foreclosed by circuit precedent.

Nevertheless, Green seeks to preserve the issues for 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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. 02-21218 -2- This court has repeatedly emphasized that the constitutionality of 18 U.S.C. 922(g) is not open to question.

See United States v. Daugherty, 264 F.3d 513, 518 (5th Cir. 2001), cert. denied, 534 U.S. 1150 (2002). Because the factual basis indicated that the firearm Green possessed was not manufactured in Texas, Green’s conviction was supported by the evidence. See United States v. Rawls, 85 F.3d 240, 242 (5th Cir. 1996).

AFFIRMED.
