No. 24-30488 c/w No. 24-30491 of New York State Rifle & Pistol Ass’n, Inc. v. Bruen, 597 U.S. 1 (2022). He concedes that that argument is foreclosed by United States v. Diaz, 116 F.4th 458, 471–72 (5th Cir. 2024); he presents the issue on appeal to preserve it for further review. The government has filed an unopposed motion for summary affirmance or, in the alternative, for an extension of time in which to file its brief.
Because the claim is foreclosed, summary affirmance is appropriate.
See Groendyke Transp., Inc. v. Davis, 406 F.2d 1158, 1162 (5th Cir. 1969). The motion is GRANTED, the alternative motion is DENIED, and the judg- ments are AFFIRMED.
