IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS

FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT

No. 15-10080

Conference Calendar

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff-Appellee

v.

SERGIO CHAVARRIA DELGADO,

Defendant-Appellant

Appeal from the United States District Court

for the Northern District of Texas

USDC No. 3:13-CR-119-1

Before HIGGINBOTHAM, DENNIS, and HIGGINSON, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

Appealing the judgment in a criminal case, Sergio Chavarria Delgado

raises an argument that is foreclosed by United States v. Alcantar, 733 F.3d 

143, 145-46 (5th Cir. 2013). In Alcantar, we rejected the argument that Nat’l 

Fed’n of Indep. Bus. v. Sebelius, 132 S. Ct. 2566 (2012) (NFIB), affected our 

prior jurisprudence rejecting challenges to the constitutionality of 18 U.S.C. 

§ 922(g)(1). 733 F.3d at 146. Because 18 U.S.C. § 922(j) is substantially similar 

 

* 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.

to § 922(g), the same result is reached with respect to Delgado’s challenge to 

it. See United States v. Luna, 165 F.3d 316, 319 (5th Cir. 1999). As Delgado

acknowledges, his challenge to § 922(g)(1) and (j) is foreclosed by our 

jurisprudence, and, as explained in Alcantar, NFIB does not change this result. 

The Government’s unopposed motion for summary affirmance is GRANTED, 

its alternate motion for extension of time is DENIED, and the judgment of the 

district court is AFFIRMED.
