Before BOWMAN, FLOYD R. GIBSON, and MORRIS SHEPPARD ARNOLD, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM.

1
Vincent B. Edwards appeals his convictions under 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1) for being a felon in possession of firearms and ammunition.  He contends that the search of his vehicle and the seizure of the guns and ammunition during a traffic stop violated his Fourth and Fifth Amendment rights and that the trial court erred by admitting Rule 404(b) evidence of his presence at a gun show three months prior to his arrest.

We also conclude that the District Court did not abuse its discretion in admitting the Rule 404(b) evidence.  Accordingly, the challenged convictions are

3
AFFIRMED. See 8th Cir.R. 47B.
