PER CURIAM:
Rashon Torrence was convicted by a jury of being a felon in possession of a firearm
and ammunition in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1). The district court imposed a
sentence of 120 months’ imprisonment.
On appeal, Torrence argues that: (1) the district court erred by admitting evidence
of the drugs found on his person when he was arrested; (2) there is insufficient evidence to
support his conviction; and (3) the district court erroneously applied the reckless
endangerment enhancement, U.S.S.G. § 3C1.2, when determining his applicable
Guidelines range.
We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. 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 in the decisional
process.
AFFIRMED
