United States of America, Plaintiff-appellee, v. Juvenile Male, Defendant-appellant, 116 F.3d 487 (9th Cir. 1997)

 Annotate this Case
US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit - 116 F.3d 487 (9th Cir. 1997) Submitted June 3, 1997. **Decided June 5, 1997

Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Arizona Robert C. Broomfield, District Judge, Presiding.

Before: NORRIS, LEAVY and TASHIMA, Circuit Judges.

MEMORANDUM* 

Juvenile male Franco L. appeals his conviction by a conditional admission to committing an act of juvenile delinquency, possession of a semi-automatic handgun by a juvenile in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 5031 and 922(x) (2). Because Franco L.'s contention that 18 U.S.C. 922(x) (2) is unconstitutional since mere gun possession cannot be regulated by Congress under the Commerce Clause is foreclosed by our recent opinion in United States v. Michael R., 90 F.3d 340 (9th Cir. 1996), the district court is

AFFIRMED.

 **

The panel unanimously finds this case suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a); 9th Cir. R. 34-4
