Before WISDOM, WIENER and PARKER, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

The defendant/appellee was charged, under 18 U.S.C. § 922(q), the Gun-Free School Zones Act of 1990, with possession of a firearm in an area he knew or should have known was a school zone. While the case against the defendant was still pending, this Court, in its decision United States v. Lopez, held that 18 U.S.C. § 922(q) was unconstitutional on the ground that it was outside Congressional power under the Commerce Clause.
