United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit ____________ United States Court of Appeals Fifth Circuit No. 24-50554 Summary Calendar FILED ____________ December 10, 2024 Lyle W. Cayce United States of America, Clerk Plaintiff—Appellee, versus Jorge Alejandro Bueno Garcia, Defendant—Appellant. ______________________________ Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas USDC No. 2:22-CR-1659-1 ______________________________ Before Smith, Stewart, and Duncan, Circuit Judges.

He argues that the convictions violate the Double Jeopardy Clause because simultaneous possession of several firearms is a single offense under 18 U.S.C. § 922(g).

The Government agrees. See United States v. Berry, 977 F.2d 915, 919 (5th _____________________ * This opinion is not designated for publication. See 5th Cir. R. 47.5.

No. 24-50554

Cir. 1992) (“The evil Congress sought to suppress by section 922 was the arming of felons; the section is based on the status of the offender and not the number of guns possessed.”). The fact that the district court ordered Bueno Garcia’s sentences to run concurrently does not change this result. See id. at 920.

Accordingly, we VACATE Bueno Garcia’s sentences and REMAND for dismissal of one of the § 922(g) convictions and for resentencing.
