Submitted Under Third Circuit L.A.R. 34.1(a)

OPINION OF THE COURT
________________________
FUENTES, Circuit Judge:
Appellant Michael Connor pled guilty to one count of possession of a firearm by a
convicted felon in violation of 18 U.S.C. 922(g). The District Court sentenced Connor
to 75 months imprisonment. Connor’s sole argument on appeal is that the felon-in-
possession statute is unconstitutional because the statute exceeds Congress’s authority
under the Commerce Clause.
As Connor acknowledges, this Court has upheld the constitutionality of 922(g)
against the same arguments Connor advances. See United States v. Singletary, 268 F.3d
196 (3d Cir. 2001). Connor’s appeal therefore lacks merit.
We AFFIRM the judgment of the District Court.
