PER CURIAM:
A jury convicted Clifton Lee Jordan of one count of being a
felon in possession of a firearm. On appeal, Jordan contends that
loss of a tape recording of a custodial statement he made at the
police station requires a new trial because there can be no de novo
appellate review of the record. We have reviewed the record and
find that Jordan has not “demonstrate[d] that the missing portion
of the transcript specifically prejudices his appeal.” United
States v. Gillis, 773 F.2d 549, 554 (4th Cir. 1985) (alteration
added). Accordingly, we affirm the conviction and sentence. 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
