United States Sixth Circuit

District court's denial of defendant's petition for an order to expunge his conviction for conducting an illegal gambling business is affirmed, where, because Congress's prohibition on felon possession of firearms is constitutional, the burdens associated with congressionally-created expungement exception in 18 U.S.C. section 921(a)(20) do not violate the Second Amendment.
