Plaintiff-Appellee,
versus
ROBERT L. LOREDO,
Defendant-Appellant.

Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Texas
USDC No. G-99-CR-17-1
--------------------
February 13, 2001
Before SMITH, BARKSDALE, and EMILIO M. GARZA, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Robert L. Loredo appeals his guilty-plea conviction for one
count of being a felon in possession of a firearm. He contends
that there was an insufficient factual basis to support his plea
and that this court should reconsider its jurisprudence regarding
the constitutionality of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g) in light of Jones v.
United States, 120 S. Ct. 1904 (2000) and United States v.
Morrison, 120 S. Ct. 1740 (2000).
“This court has repeatedly emphasized that the
constitutionality of § 922(g)(1) is not open to question.” See
*
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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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 5TH CIR.
R. 47.5.4.
No. 00-40529

United States v. De Leon, 170 F.3d 494, 499 (5th Cir.), cert.
denied, 120 S. Ct. 156 (1999). The cases cited by Loredo do not
affect this determination. Consequently, the judgment of the
district court is AFFIRMED.
