PER CURIAM:
Vernon Earl Barnes appeals his conviction for being a felon in
possession of a firearm. On appeal, he challenges the denial of his
motion to suppress. We have reviewed the record and the district
court’s oral findings and written opinion and find no reversible
error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district
court. (J.A. 137-58, 169-74). We dispense with oral argument be-
cause the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in
the materials before the court and argument would not aid the
decisional process.
AFFIRMED
