   United States of America,

                                                                    Plaintiff—Appellant,

                                            versus

                     ______________________________

                     Appeal from the United States District Court
                          for the Western District of Texas
                              USDC No. 4:22-CR-427-1
                     ______________________________

   Before Davis, Stewart, and Oldham, Circuit Judges.
   Per Curiam: *
         The Government appeals the dismissal of an indictment charging
   Litsson Antonio Perez-Gallan under 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(8) with possession
   of a firearm by someone subject to a domestic violence restraining order.
   Perez-Gallan moves for summary affirmance, relying on United States v.
   Rahimi, 61 F.4th 443 (5th Cir. 2023), cert. granted, 2023 WL 4278450 (U.S.

Case: 22-51019      Document: 00516843871           Page: 2   Date Filed: 08/02/2023

                                     No. 22-51019

   June 30, 2023) (No. 22-915). Alternatively, Perez-Gallan moves for an
   extension of time to file an appellee brief.
            As the parties concede, the Government’s appeal is foreclosed by
   Rahimi, 61 F.4th at 461. The grant of certiorari in Rahimi does not override
   this court’s precedent. See Wicker v. McCotter, 798 F.2d 155, 157-58 (5th Cir.
   1986).
            Accordingly, Perez-Gallan’s motion for summary affirmance is
   GRANTED, his alternative motion for an extension of time to file his
   appellee brief is DENIED, and the judgment of the district court is
   AFFIRMED. See Groendyke Transp., Inc. v. Davis, 406 F.2d 1158, 1162 (5th
   Cir. 1969).
