Description
Konileti Latu (Latu), pled guilty to two counts of illegal possession of a firearm in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(5)(A) and § 922(g)(5)(B), respectively. Latu reserved the right to appeal the district courts denial of three motions to dismiss. As he did before the district court, Latu contends that the statute, as applied to him, is unconstitutional under the Commerce Clause of the United States Constitution. He also contends that, on the date he possessed the firearm, he was not "illegally or unlawfully in the United States" under a proper interpretation of § 922(g)(5)(A). He further argues that § 922(g)(5)(B) violates the equal protection and substantive due process clauses of the Fifth Amendment.
