25-10252 c/w No. 25-10254 in a separate proceeding. The Government has moved without opposition for summary affirmance or, alternatively, for an extension of time to file its appellate brief.
On appeal, Lee argues that § 922(g)(1) violates the Commerce Clause and the Second Amendment. Because his brief does not address the validity of the revocation or the revocation sentence, Lee abandons any challenge to that judgment. See Yohey v. Collins, 985 F.2d 222, 224-25 (5th Cir. 1993).
Lee’s Commerce Clause argument and facial challenge to § 922(g)(1), which we review de novo, see United States v. Howard, 766 F.3d 414, 419 (5th Cir. 2014), are foreclosed, see United States v. Diaz, 116 F.4th 458, 461-62, 471-72 (5th Cir. 2024), cert. denied, 145 S. Ct. 2822 (2025); United States v. Alcantar, 733 F.3d 143, 145-46 (5th Cir. 2013). Lee’s as-applied challenge to § 922(g)(1) is foreclosed as well. See United States v. Giglio, 126 F.4th 1039, 1043-46 (5th Cir. 2025).
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,” Groendyke Transp., Inc. v. Davis, 406 F.2d 1158, 1162 (5th Cir. 1969), summary affirmance is appropriate. Accordingly, the 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 to file its brief is DENIED as unnecessary.
