                                     ____________

   United States of America,

                                                                       Plaintiff—Appellee,

                                             versus

   Jorge Bartolomei,

                                               Defendant—Appellant.
                      ______________________________

                      Appeal from the United States District Court
                          for the Southern District of Texas
                                USDC No. 4:22-CR-91-1
                      ______________________________

   Before Elrod, Oldham, and Wilson, Circuit Judges.
   Per Curiam: *
          Jorge Bartolomei pleaded guilty to possession of a firearm by a
   convicted felon, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1). He argues for the first
   time on appeal that § 922(g)(1) is unconstitutional in light of the Supreme
   Court’s decision in New York State Rifle & Pistol Ass’n v. Bruen, 597 U.S. 1,

          _____________________

Case: 23-20196     Document: 00517040796          Page: 2   Date Filed: 01/23/2024

                                   No. 23-20196

   17 (2022), which announced a new test for assessing whether a statute
   infringes the Second Amendment.
          Because Bartolomei did not raise his arguments before the district
   court, we review them for plain error. See Puckett v. United States, 556 U.S.
   129, 134 (2009). He cannot show a clear or obvious error. See United States
   v. Jones, 88 F.4th 571, 573-74 (5th Cir. 2023). Bartolomei’s contention is
   therefore unavailing.
         AFFIRMED.
