2 Denson challenges the constitutionality of § 922(g), the sufficiency of his factual basis offered in support of his guilty plea, and the co nstitutionality of
the above

- described condition of supervised release

. Because Denson did not raise these issues in district court, review is only for plain error. E.g. , United States v. Broussard , 669 F.3d 537, 546 (5th Cir. 2012). Under that standard, Denson must show a forfeited plain (clear or obvious) error that affected his substantial rights. Puckett v. United States , 556 U.S. 129, 135 (2009). If he makes that showing , we have the discretion to
correct such reversible plain e rror, but generally should do so only if it

“ seriously affect [ s ] the fairness, integrity or public reputation of judicial proceedings ”

. Id.
Denson contends the court plainly erred by accepting the factual basis offered in support of his guilty plea

. H e asserts : § 922(g) does not permit prosecutions for the possession of firearms that traveled in interstate commerce in the distant past ; and, if § 922(g) does allow such convictions, it is unconstitutional. He further contends the statute requires the G overnment to prove he knew: he possessed a firearm ; he was a felon ; and the firearm was
in , or affecting , interstate commerce. As Denson concedes, these contentions are foreclosed by our court’s precedent. See United States v. Alcantar , 733 F.3d 143, 145

– 4 6 (5th Cir. 2013) ( reject ing assertion that Nat iona l Fed eratio n of Indep endent Bus iness v. Sebelius , 567 U.S. 519 (2012), affected our prior jurisprudence rejecting challenges to constitutionality of § 922(g)(1) ); United States v. Daugherty , 264 F.3d 513, 518 (5th Cir. 2001) (upholding constitutionality of § 922(g) under Commerce Clause); United States v. Dancy , 861 F. 2 d 77, 81

– 82 (5th Cir. 1988) ( h olding § 922(g)(1) conviction r equires proof defendant knew he possessed a firearm , but does not require proof he knew it had an interstate nexus ); s ee also Case: 18-11130 Document: 00515002846 Page: 2 Date Filed: 06/19/2019No. 18

3 United States v. Rose , 587 F.3d 695, 705

– 06 (5th Cir. 2009) ( determining Dancy remains good law after Flores

- Figueroa v. United States , 556 U.S. 646 (2009) ). Therefore, the court did not plainly err by accepting Denson’s factual basis.
Denson contends the above

- quoted condition of supervised release is “unreasonable under the Fourth Amendment, [un]constitutionally overbroad and vague, statutorily unreasonable, and a greater deprivation of libert y than is reasonably necessary” , and a t least requires the district court to explain the reasons for its imposition

. O ur court , however, “ordinarily do[es] not find plain error when [it has] not previously addressed an issue”. United States v. Evans , 587 F.3d 667, 671 (5th Cir. 2009) (internal quotation marks and citation omitted). To that end, we have declined to find plain

- sentencing error where, inter alia , “this court’s law was unsettled”. United States v. Garcia

- Rodriguez , 415 F.3d 452, 456 (5th Ci r. 2005); see also United States v. Palmer , 456 F.3d 484, 491 (5th Cir. 2006) (“A ‘plain’ error is one which is clear under current law.”). As a result, and be cause it had not previously addressed the issue, our court recently held imposition of the same condition challenged in this appeal was not plain error. United States v. Cabello , 916 F.3d 543, 544 (5th Cir. 2019)
