PER CURIAM:
A jury convicted Robert E. Holmes of being a felon in
possession of a firearm, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1)
(2000). He appeals his conviction on the ground that the district
court abused its discretion in admitting certain evidence. We have
reviewed the parties’ briefs, the joint appendix, and the
supplemental joint appendix and conclude that there was no abuse of
discretion in the admission of the challenged evidence. See United
States v. Hodge, 354 F.3d 305, 312 (4th Cir. 2004) (stating
standard of review). Accordingly, we affirm Holmes’ conviction.
We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal
contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the
court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
AFFIRMED
