No. 05-50102.

438 F.3d 932 (2006)

UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Antonio LOPEZ-PERERA, Defendant-Appellant.

United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit.

Filed February 21, 2006.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Jeremy D. Warren, San Diego, CA, for the defendant-appellant.

Anne Kristina Perry, Assistant United States Attorney, San Diego, CA, for the plaintiff-appellee.

Before MARY M. SCHROEDER, Chief Judge, ALFRED T. GOODWIN and RAYMOND C. FISHER, Circuit Judges.


GOODWIN, Circuit Judge.

Antonio Lopez-Perera appeals his conviction of violating 18 U.S.C § 922(g)(5)(A), (being an alien illegally or unlawfully in the United States in possession of a firearm). He assigns error to the denial of his Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 29 motion seeking a judgment of acquittal. Because the district court misinterpreted the meaning of the statute, it erred in denying the motion.
