No: 01-4067 UNITED STATES OF AMERICA v. Carl Coleman

NOT PRECEDENTIAL
UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE THIRD CIRCUIT
No: 01-4067
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
v.
CARL COLEMAN,
Appellant
On Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania
D.C. Criminal No. 01-cr-000014
District Judge: Hon. Mary A. McLaughlin
Submitted Pursuant to Third Circuit LAR 34.1(a)
June 11, 2002
BEFORE: SLOVITER, ROTH & McKEE, Circuit Judges
(June 18, 2002)
OPINION OF THE COURT
McKEE, Circuit Judge.
Carl Coleman appeals his conviction for illegal possession of a firearm in violation
of 18 U.S.C. § 922(j)(1). His only claim of error is his assertion that that statute is an
unconstitutional violation of the limits placed upon Congress under the Commerce Clause.
We have, however, previously rejected this argument and upheld the validity of § 922(j)(1).
See, U.S. v. Singletary, 268 F.3d 196 (3d Cir. 2001). Accordingly, we will reject
appellant’s challenge to the constitutionality of that statute and affirm his conviction.
