IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS

FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT

No. 19-10363

Summary Calendar

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff-Appellee

v.

EMILIO GARZA,

Defendant-Appellant

Appeal from the United States District Court

for the Northern District of Texas

USDC No. 4:16-CR-261-1

Before CLEMENT, ELROD, and OLDHAM, Circuit Judges. 

PER CURIAM:*

Appealing his guilty plea conviction for being a felon in possession of a 

firearm, Emilio Garza raises an argument that is foreclosed by United States 

v. Alcantar, 733 F.3d 143 (5th Cir. 2013). In Alcantar, 733 F.3d at 145-46, we 

rejected the argument that Nat’l Fed’n of Indep. Bus. v. Sebelius, 567 U.S. 519 

(2012), affected our prior jurisprudence rejecting challenges to the 

constitutionality of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1). Accordingly, the motion for summary 

affirmance is GRANTED, the alternative motion for an extension of time to file 

a brief is DENIED, and the judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.

* Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not 

be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH 

CIR. R. 47.5.4.
