United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit ____________ United States Court of Appeals Fifth Circuit
No. 24-40629 FILED May 27, 2025 Summary Calendar ____________ Lyle W. Cayce Clerk United States of America, Plaintiff—Appellee, versus Spencer Wayne Bacon, Defendant—Appellant. ______________________________ Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas USDC No. 2:23-CR-625-1 ______________________________ Before Jones, Dennis, and Southwick, Circuit Judges.
Per Curiam: * Spencer Wayne Bacon appeals his 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1) conviction.
He first argues that § 922(g)(1) is facially unconstitutional under the Second Amendment in light of New York State Rifle & Pistol Ass’n, Inc. v. Bruen, 597 U.S. 1 (2022). But, as he concedes, that challenge is foreclosed by United States v. Diaz, 116 F.4th 458, 471–72 (5th Cir. 2024), petition for cert. filed, _____________________ * This opinion is not designated for publication. See 5th Cir. R. 47.5.

No. 24-40629
(U.S. Feb. 24, 2025) (No. 24-6625). Bacon further argues that § 922(g)(1) is unconstitutional as applied to him because the statute violates the Commerce Clause. He acknowledges our precedent forecloses that argument too. See United States v. Jones, 88 F.4th 571, 573 (5th Cir. 2023), cert. denied, 144 S. Ct. 1081
AFFIRMED.
