No. 24-40173
Stanfield raises four challenges to § 922(g)(1) on appeal. As Stanfield concedes, all of his arguments are foreclosed by our precedent.
First, Stanfield’s facial Second Amendment challenge to § 922(g)(1) is foreclosed by United States v. Diaz, 116 F.4th 458, 471–72 (5th Cir. 2024), cert. denied, No. 24-6625, ___ S. Ct. ___, 2025 WL 1727419 (U.S. June 23, 2025) (mem.).
Second, Stanfield’s as-applied Second Amendment challenge to § 922(g)(1) is foreclosed by United States v. Kimble, 142 F.4th 308, 317–18 (5th Cir. 2025). Under Kimble, “[Stanfield’s] conviction accords with the Second Amendment because Congress can categorically disarm individuals convicted of violent felonies like drug trafficking. That conclusion does not depend on an individualized assessment that [Stanfield] is dangerous.” Id. at 318.
Third, Stanfield’s “equal protection” challenge to § 922(g)(1) under the Fifth Amendment is foreclosed by United States v. Goody, 143 F.4th 617, (5th Cir. 2025) (per curiam).
And finally, Stanfield’s Commerce Clause challenge to § 922(g)(1) is foreclosed by United States v. De Leon, 170 F.3d 494, 499 (5th Cir. 1999), and United States v. Alcantar, 733 F.3d 143, 145–46 (5th Cir. 2013).
AFFIRMED.
