USDC No. 3:22-CR-489-1

______________________________

Before Smith, Stewart, and Duncan, Circuit Judges.

Per Curiam:*

Xavier Armon Parker asserts that the statute under which he was 

convicted, 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1), is facially unconstitutional under the 

Second Amendment in light of New York State Rifle & Pistol Ass’n, Inc. v. 

Bruen, 597 U.S. 1 (2022). The Government has filed an unopposed motion

for summary affirmance or, alternatively, for an extension of time in which to 

file a brief.

The Government is correct that Parker’s challenge is foreclosed. See 

United States v. Diaz, 116 F.4th 458, 471-72 (5th Cir. 2024). Therefore, 

summary affirmance is appropriate. See Groendyke Transp. Inc. v. Davis, 406 

F.2d 1158, 1162 (5th Cir. 1969). The motion for summary affirmance is 

GRANTED, the alternative motion for an extension of time is DENIED, 

and the judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.
