PER CURIAM.
Terry Michael Corbett appeals the judgment of conviction the district
1
court entered upon his guilty plea to being a felon in possession of a
firearm in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1). Relying on United States
v. Lopez, 115 S. Ct. 1624 (1995), Corbett argues that Congress lacks
authority to make a felon's possession of a weapon a federal crime.
Corbett's argument, however, is foreclosed by our recent opinion in United
States v. Shelton, 66 F.3d 991, 992 (8th Cir. 1995) (per curiam) (rejecting
Lopez challenge to § 922(g)), petition for cert. filed, No. 95-8099 (U.S.
Feb. 26, 1996). See also United States v. Rankin, 64 F.3d 338, 339 (8th
Cir.) (per curiam) (holding § 922(g)(1) clearly tied to interstate
commerce), cert. denied, 116 S. Ct. 577 (1995).

The Honorable Charles A. Shaw, United States District Judge
for the Eastern District of Missouri.
Accordingly, the judgment is affirmed.
