UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff-Appellee,
versus
LARRY D. BROWN,
Defendant-Appellant.
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Mississippi
USDC No. 1:03-CR-110-ALL
Before JONES, BARKSDALE, and PRADO, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Larry D. Brown appeals his conviction following a jury
trial for being a felon in possession of a firearm, 18 U.S.C.
§ 922(g)(1). Brown argues that the district court abused its
discretion in admitting evidence of his involvement in counter-
feiting and impersonation of a police officer.
Because the challenged evidence “complete[d] the story of
the crime” and was “‘inextricably intertwined’” with the evidence
of the crime charged, the evidence was “intrinsic” evidence. See

(citations omitted); United States v. Dale, 374 F.3d 321, 325 (5th
Cir. 2004), petition for cert. filed (Nov. 8, 2004) (No. 04-7184).
Brown has failed to show that the district court abused its
discretion in admitting this evidence, the probative value of which
was not substantially outweighed by any potential for undue
prejudice. See FED. R. EVID. 403. Brown’s conviction is AFFIRMED.
