For the Eighth Circuit

No. 24-3063
___________________________
United States of America
Plaintiff - Appellee
v.
Juwan Dupri Crawford
Defendant - Appellant
____________
Appeal from United States District Court
for the Southern District of Iowa - Eastern
____________
Submitted: January 12, 2026

Before LOKEN, ARNOLD, and GRUENDER, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM.
After Juwan Crawford was indicted for being a felon in possession of a firearm,
see 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1), he moved to dismiss the indictment on the ground that
§ 922(g)(1) violates the Second Amendment both facially and as applied to him.

When the district court1 denied his motion, Crawford pleaded guilty to the charge
while reserving the right to appeal the denial of his motion. On appeal, Crawford
reasserts his contention that § 922(g)(1) violates the Second Amendment, but, as he
acknowledges, our court has already rejected his arguments. See, e.g., United States
v. Jackson, 110 F.4th 1120, 1125, 1129 (8th Cir. 2024); see also United States v.
Mitchell, 2025 WL 3688159, at *1 (8th Cir. Dec. 19, 2025) (unpublished per curiam).
Crawford urges us to reconsider Jackson, but only our court sitting en banc can do
that. See United States v. Escobar, 970 F.3d 1022, 1027 (8th Cir. 2020).
Affirmed.
