MEMORANDUM**


2
Martinez argues that the indictment under 18 U.S.C. § 924(c) relied upon the Major Crimes Act, 18 U.S.C. § 1153, for jurisdiction, and 18 U.S.C. § 1153 is unconstitutional.  That argument must be rejected under  United States v. Lomayaoma, 86 F.3d 142, 1996 WL 279991, at * 3 (9th Cir.  May 29, 1996), so we affirm.


3
Martinez argues that 18 U.S.C. § 1153 is unconstitutional in light of Lopez.   The Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of the Indian Major Crimes Act in  United States v. Kagama, 118 U.S. 375 (1886).  We held in  Lomayaoma that the constitutionality of the Indian Major Crimes Act is not impaired by Lopez.

AFFIRMED.
