Opinion
United States Court of Appeals For the Eighth Circuit ___________________________ No. 24-1224 ___________________________ United States of America lllllllllllllllllllllPlaintiff - Appellee v. Philip Lamar Nordvold, agent of PJ Nordvold lllllllllllllllllllllDefendant - Appellant ____________ Appeal from United States District Court for the District of South Dakota - Central ____________ Submitted: August 15, 2024 Filed: August 20, 2024 [Unpublished] ____________ Before GRUENDER, SHEPHERD, and ERICKSON, Circuit Judges. ____________ PER CURIAM.
Following his guily plea to being a felon in possession of a firearm, Philip Nordvold appeals the district court’s1 denial of his motion to dismiss the indictment.
The Honorable Roberto Lange, Chief Judge, United States District Court for the District of South Dakota, adopting the report and recommendations of the Upon careful review, we conclude that the district court did not err in denying his motion. Nordvold argues that 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1) is unconstitutional in light of New York State Rifle & Pistol Ass’n, Inc. v. Bruen, 597 U.S. 1 (2022) and United States v. Rahimi, 144 S. Ct. 1889 (2023), but that argument is foreclosed by our prior precedent. See United States v. Jackson, No. 22-2870, 2024 WL 3711155, at *4 (8th Cir. Aug. 8, 2024) (concluding that § 922(g)(1) is constitutional under Bruen and Rahimi; there is no need for felony-by-felony litigation regarding the constitutionality of § 922(g)(1)).
Accordingly, we affirm. ______________________________
Honorable Mark A. Moreno, United States Magistrate Judge for the District of South Dakota.
