No. 24-30174
court’s very recent decision in United States v. Diaz, 116 F.4th 458, 471–72 (5th Cir. 2024), holding § 922(g)(1) is facially constitutional under Bruen.
E.g., United States v. Medina-Cantu, 113 F.4th 537, 539 (5th Cir. 2024) (rule of orderliness prohibits panel of our court from “overturn[ing] another panel’s decision, absent an intervening change in the law”) (citation omitted).
AFFIRMED.
