UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
Plaintiff-Appellee,
versus
LATINA TOMORA DAFNEY,
Defendant-Appellant.
--------------------
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Northern District of Texas
USDC No. 7:00-CR-10-1-R
--------------------
Before BARKSDALE, EMILIO M. GARZA, and DENNIS, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Latina Tomora Dafney was found guilty of being a felon in
possession of a firearm in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 922(g)(1)
and 924(a)(2). On appeal, Dafney argues that the Government was
required to prove that she knowingly violated 18 U.S.C. § 922(g),
which in turn required that the Government prove that Dafney had
knowledge that she was a felon. Dafney’s argument is precluded
by this court’s ruling in United States v. Dancy, 861 F.2d 77,
