Defendant-Appellant.

Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Western District of Texas
USDC No. MO-99-CR-79-1
--------------------
October 18, 2000
Before SMITH, BARKSDALE, and BENAVIDES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Leroy Flores Alaniz (“Alaniz”) appeals his conviction for
being a felon in possession of a firearm. He argues that 18
U.S.C. § 922(g) is unconstitutional or the district court
unconstitutionally applied § 922(g)(1) to his case.
“This court has repeatedly emphasized that the
constitutionality of § 922(g)(1) is not open to question.” See
United States v. De Leon, 170 F.3d 494, 499 (5th Cir.), cert.
denied, 120 S. Ct. 156 (1999). Recent decisions by the Supreme
