Opinion

United States Court of Appeals For the Eighth Circuit ___________________________

No. 24-3063 ___________________________

United States of America

Plaintiff - Appellee

v.

Juwan Dupri Crawford

Defendant - Appellant ____________

Appeal from United States District Court for the Southern District of Iowa - Eastern ____________

Submitted: January 12, 2026 Filed: February 2, 2026 [Unpublished] ____________

Before LOKEN, ARNOLD, and GRUENDER, Circuit Judges. ____________

PER CURIAM.

After Juwan Crawford was indicted for being a felon in possession of a firearm, see 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1), he moved to dismiss the indictment on the ground that § 922(g)(1) violates the Second Amendment both facially and as applied to him. When the district court1 denied his motion, Crawford pleaded guilty to the charge while reserving the right to appeal the denial of his motion. On appeal, Crawford reasserts his contention that § 922(g)(1) violates the Second Amendment, but, as he acknowledges, our court has already rejected his arguments. See, e.g., United States v. Jackson, 110 F.4th 1120, 1125, 1129 (8th Cir. 2024); see also United States v. Mitchell, 2025 WL 3688159, at *1 (8th Cir. Dec. 19, 2025) (unpublished per curiam). Crawford urges us to reconsider Jackson, but only our court sitting en banc can do that. See United States v. Escobar, 970 F.3d 1022, 1027 (8th Cir. 2020).

Affirmed. ______________________________

1 The Honorable Rebecca Goodgame Ebinger, United States District Judge for the Southern District of Iowa.
