Plaintiff—Appellee, versus

Jacob Allen Judd,

Defendant—Appellant. ______________________________

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas USDC No. 2:23-CR-549-1 ______________________________

Before Wiener, Ho, and Ramirez, Circuit Judges.

Per Curiam: *

Jacob Allen Judd pleaded guilty to possessing a firearm after a felony conviction, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1). On appeal, he challenges the district court’s denial of his motion to dismiss the indictment, arguing that, in light of New York State Rifle & Pistol Ass’n, Inc. v. Bruen, 597 U.S. 1 (2022), § 922(g)(1) violates the Second Amendment as applied to him.

No. 24-40389

Our decision in Diaz resolves Judd’s argument that § 922(g)(1) is unconstitutional as applied to a felon like him with a vehicle theft conviction. See United States v. Diaz, 116 F.4th 458, 471-72 (5th Cir. 2024), petition for cert. filed (U.S. Feb. 18, 2025) (No. 24-6625). 1

AFFIRMED.
