v.

SERGIO CHAVARRIA DELGADO,

                                                 Defendant-Appellant

                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                        for the Northern District of Texas
                             USDC No. 3:13-CR-119-1

Before HIGGINBOTHAM, DENNIS, and HIGGINSON, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
       Appealing the judgment in a criminal case, Sergio Chavarria Delgado
raises an argument that is foreclosed by United States v. Alcantar, 733 F.3d
143, 145-46 (5th Cir. 2013). In Alcantar, we rejected the argument that Nat’l
Fed’n of Indep. Bus. v. Sebelius, 132 S. Ct. 2566 (2012) (NFIB), affected our
prior jurisprudence rejecting challenges to the constitutionality of 18 U.S.C.
§ 922(g)(1). 733 F.3d at 146. Because 18 U.S.C. § 922(j) is substantially similar

       * 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH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.
    Case: 15-10080    Document: 00513241698    Page: 2   Date Filed: 10/22/2015

                                No. 15-10080

to § 922(g), the same result is reached with respect to Delgado’s challenge to
it. See United States v. Luna, 165 F.3d 316, 319 (5th Cir. 1999). As Delgado
acknowledges, his challenge to § 922(g)(1) and (j) is foreclosed by our
jurisprudence, and, as explained in Alcantar, NFIB does not change this result.
The Government’s unopposed motion for summary affirmance is GRANTED,
its alternate motion for extension of time is DENIED, and the judgment of the
district court is AFFIRMED.
