FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT
United States Court of Appeals
Fif h Circuit
No. 16-11476 FILED
Summary Calendar August 21, 2017
Lyle W. Cayce
Clerk
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff-Appellee
v.
WILLIAM JACKSON,
Defendant-Appellant
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Northern District of Texas
USDC No. 3:15-CR-547-1
Before REAVLEY, PRADO, and GRAVES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
William Jackson pleaded guilty to being a felon in possession of a
firearm. For the first time on appeal, he argues that 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1) is
unconstitutional. The Government has filed an unopposed motion for
summary affirmance arguing that Jackson’s challenge is foreclosed by circuit
precedent or, alternatively, requesting an extension of time to file its brief on
the merits.
* 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH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. 16-11476
We note that the written judgment does not accurately reflect Jackson’s
conviction under § 922(g)(1). The district court may correct a clerical error
such as this one at any time pursuant to Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure
36.
Jackson’s argument that § 922(g)(1) is unconstitutional because it
exceeds the scope of Congress’s power under the Commerce Clause is
foreclosed. See United States v. Alcantar, 733 F.3d 143, 145-46 (5th Cir. 2013);
United States v. Daugherty, 264 F.3d 513, 518 (5th Cir. 2001); United States v.
De Leon, 170 F.3d 494, 499 (5th Cir. 1999). He raises the argument to preserve
it for further review. Accordingly, the Government’s motion for summary
affirmance is GRANTED, the alternative motion for an extension of time to file
a brief is DENIED, the judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED, and we
REMAND to the district court for the limited purpose of correcting the clerical
error in the written judgment.
