Before McMILLIAN, WOLLMAN, and MURPHY, Circuit Judges.
                               ___________

PER CURIAM.

        Terry Michael Corbett appeals the judgment of conviction the district
        1
court       entered upon his guilty plea to being a felon in possession of a
firearm in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1).                 Relying on United States
v. Lopez, 115 S. Ct. 1624 (1995), Corbett argues that Congress lacks
authority to make a felon's possession of a weapon a federal crime.
Corbett's argument, however, is foreclosed by our recent opinion in United
States v. Shelton, 66 F.3d 991, 992 (8th Cir. 1995) (per curiam) (rejecting
Lopez challenge to § 922(g)), petition for cert. filed, No. 95-8099 (U.S.
Feb. 26, 1996).          See also United States v. Rankin, 64 F.3d 338, 339 (8th
Cir.)       (per    curiam)     (holding   §   922(g)(1)   clearly   tied   to   interstate
commerce), cert. denied, 116 S. Ct. 577 (1995).

        1
      The Honorable Charles A. Shaw, United States District Judge
for the Eastern District of Missouri.
Accordingly, the judgment is affirmed.

A true copy.

           CLERK, U. S. COURT OF APPEALS, EIGHTH CIRCUIT.
