PER CURIAM:
Samad Madir Harvey appeals from his conviction for
being a felon in possession of a firearm. On appeal, he
challenges the district court’s denial of his motion for a new
trial. We review the district court’s ruling for an abuse of
discretion. United States v. Smith, 451 F.3d 209, 216 (4th Cir.
2006). We have carefully considered the parties’ briefs on
appeal and the record, and we conclude that the district court’s
reasoning was appropriate and contained no abuse of discretion.
(See J.A. at 326-43). Accordingly, we affirm. We dispense with
oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are
adequately presented in the materials before this court and
argument would not aid the decisional process.
AFFIRMED
