UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

                                          Plaintiff-Appellee,

versus

DAVID GEORGE HAIRSTON,

                                          Defendant-Appellant.

                      --------------------
          Appeal from the United States District Court
               for the Southern District of Texas
                     USDC No. B-99-CR-338-1
                      --------------------
                        December 10, 2002

Before BARKSDALE, DEMOSS, and BENAVIDES, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     David George Hairston was convicted by a jury of being a

felon in possession of a firearm in violation of 18 U.S.C.

§§ 922(g) and 924(a)(2).    On appeal, he raises challenges to his

conviction and sentence.

     Hairston first challenges his conviction, arguing that 18

U.S.C. § 922(g) is unconstitutional on its face or,

alternatively, is unconstitutional as applied.   Hairston


     *
        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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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. 00-41062
                                -2-

acknowledges, however, that his arguments are foreclosed by this

court’s precedent and they are raised solely to preserve them for

possible Supreme Court review.

     Hairston’s arguments are indeed foreclosed by this court’s

decisions in United States v. Cavazos, 288 F.3d 706, 712 (5th

Cir. 2002), cert. denied, (U.S. Oct. 7, 2002) (No. 02-5348) and

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

cert. denied, 534 U.S. 1150 (2002).   Accordingly, he is not

entitled to relief.

     Hairston also argues that his conviction should be reversed

because the district court abused its discretion when it gave a

supplemental jury instruction.   Because Hairston did not object

to the charge at trial, his claim is subject to plain error

review.   See United States v. Harris, 104 F.3d 1465, 1471-72 (5th

Cir. 1997).   Hairston has not shown that the district court

plainly erred when, in response to a note from the jury, the

court provided the jury with the Fifth Circuit pattern jury

instruction on the issue of possession.   Id.; see also United

States v. Munoz, 150 F.3d 401, 415 (5th Cir. 1998).     Accordingly,

his conviction is affirmed.

     Hairston challenges his sentence on two grounds.    Because he

did not raise his sentencing objections below, his claims are

subject to plain error review.   United States v. Rodriguez, 15

F.3d 408, 414 (5th Cir. 1994).
                             No. 00-41062
                                  -3-

     Hairston argues that the district court erred in determining

that his prior theft convictions were not “related” for purposes

of U.S.S.G. § 4A1.2(a)(2).    Additionally, he argues that his

prior theft offenses should not have been included in his

criminal history calculation because the theft offenses are

similar to an excluded misdemeanor offense listed in U.S.S.G.

§ 4A1.2(c)(1).   Hairston’s arguments are dependent on questions

of fact that were capable of resolution by the district court.

Accordingly, he cannot demonstrate plain error.    See United

States v. Chung, 261 F.3d 536, 539 (5th Cir. 2001).

     AFFIRMED.
