No. 24-10990

Bruen, 597 U.S. 1 (2022). For the first time on appeal, he argues that § 922(g)(1) violates the Commerce Clause. The Government has filed an unopposed motion for summary affirmance or, alternatively, for an extension of time to file its brief.

Lusk is correct that his arguments are foreclosed. 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); United States v. Perryman, 965 F.3d 424, 426 (5th Cir. 2020). Because the Government’s position “is clearly right as a matter of law so that there can be no substantial question as to the outcome of the case,” summary affirmance is appropriate. Groendyke Transp., Inc. v. Davis, 406 F.2d 1158, 1162 (5th Cir. 1969).

Accordingly, the Government’s motion for summary affirmance is GRANTED, and the judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED. The Government’s alternative motion for an extension of time is DENIED.
