United States v. Hall
Opinion
MEMORANDUM
Wade Austin Hall appeals the sentence imposed following his guilty plea conviction to one count of being a felon in possession of a firearm, a violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1). We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291 and 18 U.S.C. § 3742. We affirm.
Hall contends that 18 U.S.C. 922(g)(1) is an unconstitutional exercise of Congress’ authority under the Commerce Clause. This court has repeatedly rejected this contention, as well as Hall’s contention [831] that United States v. Lopez, 514 U.S. 549, 115 S.Ct. 1624, 131 L.Ed.2d 626 (1995), United States v. Morrison, 529 U.S. 598, 120 S.Ct. 1740, 146 L.Ed.2d 658, (2000) and Jones v. United States, 529 U.S. 848, 120 S.Ct. 1904, 146 L.Ed.2d 902 (2000) impliedly overruled prior authority finding section 922(g) constitutional. See United States v. Rousseau, 257 F.3d 925, 932-33 (9th Cir.), cert. denied, — U.S. -, 122 S.Ct. 502, 151 L.Ed.2d 413 (2001); United States v. Davis, 242 F.3d 1162, 1162-63 (9th Cir.) (per curiam), cert. denied, — U.S. -, 122 S.Ct. 178, 151 L.Ed.2d 123 (2001); United States v. Hanna, 55 F.3d 1456, 1462 n. 2 (9th Cir.1995).
AFFIRMED.
