No. 25-50040

Rifle & Pistol Ass’n, Inc. v. Bruen, 597 U.S. 1 (2022). He further argues that United States v. Giglio, 126 F.4th 1039, 1045-46 (5th Cir. 2025), pertaining to an as-applied challenge for a defendant who was serving an ongoing criminal sentence when he committed the § 922(g)(1) offense, was incorrectly decided, citing United States v. Diaz, 116 F.4th 458, 467 (5th Cir. 2024), cert. denied, 2025 WL 1727419 (U.S. June 23, 2025). The Government has filed a motion for summary affirmance or, in the alternative, an extension of time to file a brief. McMaryion takes no position on the motion but concedes that his arguments are foreclosed by current precedent and raises them to preserve them for further review.

The parties are correct that McMaryion’s facial and as-applied challenges are foreclosed. See Giglio, 126 F.4th at 1045-46; United States v. Contreras, 125 F.4th 725, 729, 732-33 (5th Cir. 2025); Diaz, 116 F.4th at 462.

Therefore, summary affirmance is appropriate. See Groendyke Transp., Inc. v. Davis, 406 F.2d 1158, 1162 (5th Cir. 1969). Accordingly, the motion for summary affirmance is GRANTED, the alternative motion for an extension of time is DENIED, and the judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.
