BAUER, Chief Judge.
Wilbert Lewis appeals his conviction and sentence for knowing possession of a firearm by a convicted felon in violation of 18 U.S.C.App. § 1202(a)(1). 1 Lewis contends that the trial court improperly refused to suppress certain government evidence, wrongly allowed prejudicial evidence of his gang membership to be presented to the jury, and improperly enhanced his sentence by considering improper and inaccurate information. We believe the trial court pro ceeded properly in each instance and, therefore, affirm.
