Appeal from the United States District Court for the Middle District of Louisiana USDC No. 3:22-CR-95-1 ______________________________

Before Elrod, Chief Judge, and Smith, and Stewart, Circuit Judges. Per Curiam: * Terrance J. Tardieff appeals his conviction for possession of a firearm after a felony conviction in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1).

See United States v. Schnur, 132 F.4th 863, 870-71 (5th Cir. 2025); United States v. Diaz, 116 F.4th 458, 471-72 (5th Cir. 2024), cert. denied, 145 S. Ct. 2822 (2025). Because summary disposition is appropriate, see Groendyke Transp., Inc. v. Davis, 406 F.2d 1158, 1162 (5th Cir. 1969), the Government’s motion for summary affirmance is GRANTED. The Government’s alternative motion for an extension of time is DENIED, and the judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.
