United States v. Daugherty, 
264 F.3d 513
, 518 (5th Cir. 2001),

which rejected a Commerce Clause challenge to the felon-in-

possession-of-a-firearm statute, 18 U.S.C. § 922(g), and United

States v. Dancy, 
861 F.2d 77
, 81 (5th Cir. 1985), which held that

the Government need not prove that the defendant knew that the

firearm was in or affecting interstate commerce.   The

     *
        Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined
that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent
except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.
R. 47.5.4.
                          No. 04-11367
                               -2-

judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.
