ORDER AND JUDGMENT *
_________________________________
Before MATHESON, BACHARACH, and PHILLIPS, Circuit Judges.
_________________________________
This matter is before us on the Unopposed Motion for Summary Affirmance
filed by the United States. The United States moves for summary affirmance based
on this court’s recent published decision in Vincent v. Bondi, 127 F.4th 1263 (10th
Cir. 2025), cert. denied No. 24-1155, 607 U.S. --, 2026 WL 568283 (Mar. 2, 2026).
In his opening brief, the appellant’s sole argument is that the statute he was convicted
of violating, 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1), is unconstitutional. Now that the Supreme Court
After examining the United States’ motion and the appellate record, this
*
panel has determined unanimously that oral argument would not materially assist in
the determination of the motion or the appeal. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2);
10th Cir. R. 34.1(G). The case is therefore ordered submitted without oral argument.
Additionally, this order and judgment is not binding precedent, except under the
doctrines of law of the case, res judicata, and collateral estoppel. It may be cited,
however, for its persuasive value consistent with Federal Rule of Appellate
Procedure 32.1 and 10th Circuit Rule 32.1.

has denied certiorari in Vincent, which presented the same issue on appeal that the
appellant raised here, the appellant concedes his only appellate issue is foreclosed by
circuit precedent.
In light of the foregoing, the abatement of proceedings in this appeal is lifted,
and the United States’ motion for summary affirmance is granted. The judgment of
the district court is affirmed.
