Case Explained: Summary Calendar United States of America Plaintiff— v. Montique Oshay Hall Defendant—

Court: United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit

Filed: 2026-07-02

The Fifth Circuit granted the Government’s motion for summary affirmance and affirmed the district court’s judgment upholding Montique Oshay Hall’s conviction under 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1) for possession of a firearm by a felon. The court held that Hall’s facial constitutional challenge to the statute under the Second Amendment is foreclosed by the Fifth Circuit’s prior decision in *United States v. Diaz*, 116 F.4th 458 (5th Cir. 2024). Consequently, the court denied Hall’s alternative motion for an extension of time to file an appellate brief and affirmed the conviction without further briefing or oral argument.
