GARLAND, Circuit Judge,
concurring in Part III of the court’s opinion:
I concur in the court’s ruling in Part III that, even if the district court erroneously admitted evidence that Linares had previously been arrested for possession of a handgun, any such error was manifestly harmless. Whether the admission of that evidence violates Rule 404(b) is a substantially more difficult question, particularly in light of the en banc court’s opinion in United States v. Crowder and Davis, 141 F.3d 1202 (D.C.Cir.1998). Given the ruling in Part III, it is a question that need not be decided in order to resolve this case.
