ON APPEAL FROM THE UNITED
STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE
EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN
Before: SUHRHEINRICH and GIBBONS, Circuit Judges; and HEYBURN, District
Judge*
PER CURIAM. Plaintiff Dick’s Sport Center (Dick’s) appeals the district court’s order
granting the summary judgment motion of defendant Richard Alexander, Director of Industry
Operations, Detroit Field Division, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
Specifically, Dick’s contends that its violations of the Gun Control Act, 18 U.S.C. §§ 921–31, were
not “willful” within the meaning of the statute and therefore revocation of its license was
inappropriate.
Having reviewed the parties’ briefs and the applicable law, and having the benefit of oral
argument, we conclude that a panel opinion further addressing the issues raised would serve no

jurisprudential purpose. Therefore, on the grounds identified by the district court, we affirm the
district court’s order granting summary judgment to the defendant.
