Appeal from the United States District Court 

for the Western District of Texas

USDC No. 4:22-CR-427-1

______________________________

Before Davis, Stewart, and Oldham, Circuit Judges.

Per Curiam:*

The Government appeals the dismissal of an indictment charging 

Litsson Antonio Perez-Gallan under 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(8) with possession 

of a firearm by someone subject to a domestic violence restraining order. 

Perez-Gallan moves for summary affirmance, relying on United States v. 

Rahimi, 61 F.4th 443 (5th Cir. 2023), cert. granted, 2023 WL 4278450 (U.S.

extension of time to file an appellee brief.

As the parties concede, the Government’s appeal is foreclosed by 

Rahimi, 61 F.4th at 461. The grant of certiorari in Rahimi does not override 

this court’s precedent. See Wicker v. McCotter, 798 F.2d 155, 157-58 (5th Cir. 

1986).

Accordingly, Perez-Gallan’s motion for summary affirmance is 

GRANTED, his alternative motion for an extension of time to file his 

appellee brief is DENIED, and the judgment of the district court is 

AFFIRMED. See Groendyke Transp., Inc. v. Davis, 406 F.2d 1158, 1162 (5th 

Cir. 1969).
