Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Bernard L. Greer appeals from the district court’s order accepting the
recommendation of the magistrate judge and denying relief on his complaint in which he
challenged the constitutionality of West Virginia’s felon dispossession law, which, unlike
the federal statute, prohibits the possession of an antique firearm by a convicted felon.
See 18 U.S.C. § 921(a)(3)(D) (2012); W. Va. Code Ann. § 61-7-7(a)(1) (LexisNexis
Supp. 2017); W. Va. Code Ann. § 61-7-2(11) (LexisNexis 2014). We have reviewed the
record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the
district court. Greer v. State of West Virginia, No. 1:16-cv-00142-IMK-MJA (N.D.W.
Va. Aug. 23, 2017). We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal
contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument
would not aid the decisional process.
AFFIRMED
