IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT
No. 01-20321
Conference Calendar
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff-Appellee,
versus
FRANCISCO SANCHEZ, JR.,
Defendant-Appellant.
--------------------
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Texas
USDC No. H-00-CR-697-ALL
--------------------
February 21, 2002
Before JOLLY, JONES, and BENAVIDES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Francisco Sanchez, Jr., appeals his conviction of one count
of being a felon in possession of a firearm. He argues that 18
U.S.C. § 922(g)(1) is unconstitutional on its face because it
does not require a substantial effect on interstate commerce. As
this court recently held, “the constitutionality of § 922(g) is
not open to question.” See United States v. Daugherty, 264 F.3d
513, 518 (5th Cir. 2001) (internal quotation omitted), pet. for
cert. filed, No. 01-7524 (Dec. 20, 2001). The judgment of the
district court is AFFIRMED.
