1Opinion of the Court
TERRY, Associate Judge:
Appellant was convicted of assault with a dangerous weapon and two related firearms offenses. On appeal he contends that a bullet and a pistol were erroneously admitted into evidence, arguing that they were irrelevant and that their probative value was outweighed by their prejudicial impact. He also challenges, on two grounds, the trial court’s denial of his motion to vacate sentence under D.C.Code § 23-110 (2001). We affirm both the judgment of conviction and the denial of the § 23-110 motion.
