PER CURIAM:
Darian Terrence Harris was convicted by a jury for
possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, in violation of 18
U.S.C. §§ 922(g)(1), 924 (2000). He received a 96-month sentence.
On appeal, he challenges his conviction, arguing that the district
court erred in not allowing him to pursue testimony from Magistrate
Clifton Brummitt that would impeach the testimony of Deputy Wade
Woody, a Government witness. This Court reviews a district court’s
evidentiary rulings for abuse of discretion. United States v.
Leftenant,
341 F.3d 338, 342 (4th Cir. 2003), cert. denied,
124
S. Ct. 1183 (2004). Having reviewed the material submitted in the
joint appendix, particularly the trial transcript, in light of
Harris’ argument, we find no abuse of discretion.
Accordingly, we affirm Harris’ 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
