United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit.

July 23, 1999.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Joseph H. Gay, Jr., U.S. Atty., Angela J. Moore, San Antonio, TX, for Plaintiff-Appellee.

Paul Kobbe Williams, Joseph Brooks Williams, Midland, TX, for Defendant-Appellant.

Before POLITZ, JOLLY and DUHÉ, Circuit Judges.


DUHÉ, Circuit Judge:

A jury convicted Jason Jerome Edwards ("Edwards") of possessing a firearm while an unlawful user of a controlled substance in violation of 18 U.S.C.A. § 922(g)(3) (West Supp.1999). On appeal, Edwards challenges the constitutionality of the statute on the ground that the phrase "unlawful user of a controlled substance" is void for vagueness. We affirm his conviction holding that the statute is constitutional.
