v.

DANTANA TANKSLEY,

                                                 Defendant-Appellant

                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                        for the Northern District of Texas
                             USDC No. 4:15-CR-38-1

Before REAVLEY, ELROD, and GRAVES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
       Appealing the judgment in a criminal case, Dantana Tanksley raises
arguments that are foreclosed by United States v. Alcantar, 733 F.3d 143, 145-
46 (5th Cir. 2013), United States v. Rose, 587 F.3d 695, 705 (5th Cir. 2009), and
United States v. Ford, 509 F.3d 714, 716-17 (5th Cir. 2007). In Alcantar, we
rejected the argument that Nat’l Fed’n of Indep. Bus. v. Sebelius, 132 S. Ct.

       * 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH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.

constitutionality of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1). 733 F.3d at 145-46. In Rose, we held
that Flores-Figueroa v. United States, 556 U.S. 646 (2009), did not alter the
proof required in a § 922(g)(1) case. 587 F.3d at 705. In Ford, we held that a
Texas conviction for possession with intent to deliver is a “controlled substance
offense.” 509 F.3d at 716-17.
      Accordingly, the Government’s 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.
