April 15, 1999
Before JONES, SMITH, and DUHÉ, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Donald T. Townsend appeals his conviction for passing
counterfeit currency, in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 2 and 472. He
argues that the district court erred in allowing the Government
to present the testimony of Secret Service Agent Jones E.
Allison, Jr., in rebuttal to his direct testimony.
We have reviewed the record and the briefs submitted by the
parties and conclude that the district court’s evidentiary ruling
was not an abuse of discretion. See United States v. Sanchez,
988 F.2d 1384, 1393 (5th Cir. 1993).
*
Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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 5TH CIR.
R. 47.5.4.
No. 98-60419

AFFIRMED.
