United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit United States Court of Appeals Fifth Circuit ____________ FILED January 23, 2024 No. 23-20196 Lyle W.

Per Curiam: * Jorge Bartolomei pleaded guilty to possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1). He argues for the first time on appeal that § 922(g)(1) is unconstitutional in light of the Supreme Court’s decision in New York State Rifle & Pistol Ass’n v. Bruen, 597 U.S. 1,

No. 23-20196

17 (2022), which announced a new test for assessing whether a statute infringes the Second Amendment.

Because Bartolomei did not raise his arguments before the district court, we review them for plain error. See Puckett v. United States, 556 U.S. 129, 134 (2009). He cannot show a clear or obvious error. See United States v. Jones, 88 F.4th 571, 573-74 (5th Cir. 2023). Bartolomei’s contention is therefore unavailing.

AFFIRMED.
