Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas USDC No. 3:22-CR-238-1 ______________________________

Before King, Haynes, and Ho, Circuit Judges. Per Curiam:* Von Allen Randall appeals his conviction and sentence for possession of a firearm after a felony conviction, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1).

No. 25-10841

Government has filed an unopposed motion for summary affirmance or, in the alternative, for an extension of time to file an appellate brief. First, we have held that § 922(g)(1) does not violate the Second Amendment on its face. See United States v. Diaz, 116 F.4th 458, 471-72 (5th Cir. 2024), cert. denied, 145 S. Ct. 2822 (2025). Second, in United States v. Herrold, 941 F.3d 173, 182 (5th Cir. 2019) (en banc), we held that Texas burglary is generic burglary and constitutes a violent felony under the ACCA. Accordingly, summary affirmance is proper. See Groendyke Transp., Inc. v. Davis, 406 F.2d 1158, 1162 (5th Cir. 1969). The Government’s motion for summary affirmance is GRANTED. Its alternative motion for an extension of time to file its appellate brief is DENIED as moot. The judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.
