United States v. Sanchez

United States Court of Appeals Fifth Circuit F I L E D IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT July 16, 2007 Charles R. Fulbruge III No. 06-41117 Clerk Summary Calendar UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff-Appellee, versus ENRIQUE MORENO SANCHEZ, Defendant-Appellant. -------------------- Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas No. 2:02-CR-239-ALL -------------------- Before SMITH, WIENER, and OWEN, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM:* Enrique Sanchez appeals the sentence imposed at resentencing for his conviction of being a felon in possession of a firearm. This court previously vacated Sanchez’s sentence and ordered resen- tencing in light of United States v. Booker, 543 U.S. 220 (2005). Sanchez contends that the evidence is legally insufficient to sup- port his conviction with regard to the commerce element of 18 * 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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. 06-41117 -2- U.S.C. § 922(g)(1). He concedes, however, that his argument is foreclosed and raises it only to preserve it for further review. The government moves for summary affirmance on the ground that the only issue raised on appeal is foreclosed. “On a second appeal following remand, the only issue for con- sideration is whether the court below reached its final decree in due pursuance of [this court’s] previous opinion and mandate.” Burroughs v. F.F.P. Operating Partners, 70 F.3d 31, 33 (5th Cir. 1996). In the prior appeal in this case, we limited the scope of the remand to resentencing in light of Booker. Because the sole issue Sanchez raises on appeal is beyond the scope of review, we decline to consider it. The government’s motion for summary affirmance is DENIED. The government’s alternative request for extension of time is DENIED as unnecessary. The judgment is AFFIRMED.
