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, 

, 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
