Newmeyer

MEMORANDUM **

James Newmeyer appeals his conviction for six counts of possession of a firearm by a felon, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922 (g)(1). He contends that the district court erred in denying his motion to dismiss these counts because under strict scrutiny analysis, § 922(g)(1) violates the Commerce Clause, the Equal Protection Clause, and the Second and Tenth Amendments. This contention is foreclosed by our holdings that the Second Amendment does not confer on individual citizens a right to bear arms, United States v. Hancock, 231 F.3d 557, 565-66 (9th Cir.2000) (upholding § 922(g)(9) under rational basis analysis against equal protection challenge), and that § 922(g)(1) is a valid exercise of Congress’ power under the Commerce Clause, United States v. Rousseau, 257 F.3d 925, 932 (9th Cir.), cert, denied, 534 U.S. 1013 , 122 S.Ct. 503 , 151 L.Ed.2d 413 (2001), and thus does not violate the Tenth Amendment, United States v. Collins, 61 F.3d 1379, 1384 (9th Cir.), cert. denied, 516 U.S. 1000 , 116 S.Ct. 543 , 133 L.Ed.2d 446 (1995).
