Opinion

Clifford Laverne Mecham, Jr., appeals the sentence imposed at resentencing for his conviction for possession of child pornography. This court previously vacated Mechams sentence based on the district courts misapplication of the U.S.S.G. § 2G2.2(b)(4)(A) enhancement. Mecham has moved for summary disposition, asserting that 18 U.S.C. §§ 2252A(a)(5)(B) and 2256(8)(C) are unconstitutional as applied to him.

“On a second appeal following remand, the only issue for consideration is whether the [district court] reached its final decree in due pursuance of [this courts] previous opinion and mandate.” Burroughs v. FFP Operating Partners, 70 F.3d 31, 33 (5th Cir. 1995). Because Mechams argument challenging the constitutionality of §§ 2252A(a)(5)(B) and 2256(8)(C) as applied to him is beyond this courts remand order, we decline to consider it. See Burroughs, 70 F.3d at 33.

Accordingly, Mechams motion for summary disposition is DENIED. The judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.
