Description
Defendant-Appellant Gary Lee Willingham was charged in a single count indictment for violating 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1), felon in possession of a firearm. After the district court denied Willinghams motions to (1) declare the subject statute unconstitutional and, (2) suppress the firearm in question and statements given by Willingham, he entered into a conditional plea agreement that allowed him to appeal, inter alia, the denial of his aforesaid motions. Willingham was convicted on his guilty plea and sentenced to serve 210 months in prison, to be followed by a five-year term of supervised release. As precedent binds us to affirm the denial of Willinghams motion to dismiss the indictment on his asserted constitutional ground, and as we conclude that any error that the district court may have committed in denying Willinghams motion to suppress would be harmless, we affirm.
