Before Wisdom, King, and Smith, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     Robert Arthur Hall appeals his conviction for being a felon

in possession of a firearm, in violation of 18 U.S.C. 924(e)(1).

The district court did not abuse its discretion in failing to sua

sponte order a competency hearing because Hall did not raise a

“bona fide doubt” as to his competence.1    This court cannot

address his ineffective assistance of counsel claim because the

     *
       Pursuant to Local Rule 47.5, the court has determined that
this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except
under the limited circumstances set forth in Local Rule 47.5.4.

record is not sufficiently complete to fairly evaluate the merits

of such a claim.2   Hall cannot raise an illegal search and

seizure claim because he did not file a timely motion to suppress

and such failure constitutes a waiver of the issue.3

     AFFIRMED.
