                                  ___________

Before RILEY, Chief Judge, BEAM, and BYE, Circuit Judges.
                              ___________

PER CURIAM.

      Shawn Aiello appeals his conviction and mandatory minimum fifteen-year
sentence, following a guilty plea, to being a felon in possession of a firearm, 18 U.S.C.
§§ 922(g) & 924(e). After pleading guilty, Aiello unsuccessfully argued to the district
court1 at sentencing that his prosecution under § 922(g) violated his Second
Amendment right to keep and bear arms, citing District of Columbia v. Heller, 554
U.S. 570 (2008), and McDonald v. City of Chicago, 130 S. Ct. 3020 (2010). He
renews this argument on appeal. To the extent, as the government urges, that Aiello's

      1
        The Honorable Rodney W. Sippel, United States District Judge for the Eastern
District of Missouri.
briefing can be read to present an "as applied" challenge to § 922(g), it is barred by
the appellate waiver of all non-jurisdictional issues in his plea agreement. See United
States v. Joos, 638 F.3d 581, 586 (8th Cir. 2011) (holding that "as applied"
constitutional challenges to statutes are non-jurisdictional), cert. denied, 2012 WL
171246 (U.S. Jan. 23, 2012). To the extent, as Aiello urges, that he brings a facial
challenge to § 922(g), his arguments are foreclosed by our circuit precedent. See id.
(noting that we have previously upheld § 922(g) against a Second Amendment
challenge). We affirm.
                        ______________________________
