April 9, 1999
Before REAVLEY, POLITZ, and SMITH, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
James J. Kostmayer, Jr., and Robert I. Lawson, Jr., appeal the district court’s
grant of the defendant-appellee’s motion to dismiss or, in the alternative,
for summary judgment, challenging the constitutionality of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1)
and § 925(c), as well as the denial of their request for a writ of mandamus or a
declaratory judgment. Having considered the briefs and oral argument of counsel
*
Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be
published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5 TH CIR.
R. 47.5.4.
and pertinent parts of the record, and for essentially the reasons assigned by the
district court in its order granting the United States’ motion to dismiss and
alternative motion for summary judgment filed April 6, 1998, the judgment
appealed is AFFIRMED.
