United States v. Powell , 33 F. App'x 482 ( 2002 )

ORDER AND JUDGMENT^*

EBEL, Circuit Judge.

Defendant-Appellant Alex E. Powell appeals from the sentence resulting from his convictions on two counts of being a felon in possession of a firearm, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1). He raises two issues solely for the purpose of preserving them for review by the United States Supreme Court. First, he argues that his conviction should be reversed because § 922(g)(1) exceeds Congress’s authority under the Commerce Clause. This argument is foreclosed by United States v. Dorris, 236 F.3d 582, 586 (10th Cir.2000), cert. denied, 532 U.S. 986, 121 S.Ct. 1635, 149 L.Ed.2d 495 (2001). Second, Powell argues that his constitutional rights were violated “by a sentencing guideline system in which the facts exposing him to a particular sentence range were not included in the indictment and were not proven beyond a reasonable doubt under Apprendi v. New Jersey, 530 U.S. 466, 120 S.Ct. 2348, 147 L.Ed.2d 435 (2000).” This argument is foreclosed by United States v. Sullivan, 255 F.3d 1256, 1265 (10th Cir.2001), cert. denied, — U.S. -, 122 S.Ct. 1182, — L.Ed.2d - (2002). Powell’s convictions and sentence are AFFIRMED.
