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 Gov-

ernment 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 sen-

tence.   We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal

contentions of the parties are adequately presented in the ma-

terials before the Court and argument would not aid the decisional

process.

                                                           AFFIRMED
