Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana USDC No. 2:22-CR-173-1

______________________________

Before Wiener, Ho, and Ramirez, Circuit Judges. Per Curiam: * David Thompson argues that his statute of conviction, 18 U.S.C.

§ 922(g)(1), violates the Second Amendment on its face and as applied to him in light of New York State Rifle & Pistol Ass’n, Inc. v. Bruen, 597 U.S. 1 (2022).

Thompson’s facial Second Amendment challenge is foreclosed by United States v. Diaz, 116 F.4th 458, 471-72 (5th Cir. 2024), petition for cert.
