PER CURIAM:
Plaintiffs appeal the district court’s order dismissing their 42 U.S.C. § 1983
complaint for failure to state a claim upon which relief may be granted. In this action,
Plaintiffs sought to challenge Maryland’s Firearm Safety Act’s ban on assault weapons as
squarely foreclosed by this court’s decision in Kolbe v. Hogan, 849 F.3d 114 (4th Cir.
2017) (en banc). “As a panel, we are not authorized to reconsider an en banc holding.”
Joseph v. Angelone, 184 F.3d 320, 325 (4th Cir. 1999). Accordingly, we affirm the district
court’s order. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are
adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid the
decisional process.
AFFIRMED
