UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Jamie John SALOMON, Defendant-Appellant.
    No. 00-4439.
    United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.
    Submitted Dec. 29, 2000.
    Decided Jan. 18, 2001.
    
      Mary Lou Newberger, Acting Federal Public Defender, Edward H. Weis, First Assistant Federal Public Defender, Charleston, WV, for appellant. Rebecca A. Betts, United States Attorney, John H. Tinney, Jr., Assistant United States Attorney, Charleston, WV, for appellee.
    Before NIEMEYER, LUTTIG, and MOTZ, Circuit Judges.
   PER CURIAM.

Jamie John Salomon appeals his conviction and resulting fifty-one month sentence for being a felon in possession of a firearm in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 922(g)(1), 924(a)(2) (1994). He asserts that the trial court erred in instructing the jury that the Government could prove interstate commerce nexus by establishing beyond a reasonable doubt that the firearm in question had at any time traveled across state lines. We find no error in the court’s jury instructions. See United States v. Crump, 120 F.3d 462, 466 (4th Cir.1997). We therefore affirm Salomon’s conviction and sentence. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions of the parties are adequately presented in the materials before the Court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

AFFIRMED.
