MELLOY, Circuit Judge.
A jury found Mark Adams guilty of being a felon in possession of a firearm in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1). The district court 2 sentenced Adams to 115 months’ imprisonment. Adams appeals his conviction, arguing the district court abused its discretion in admitting certain evidence and clearly erred in rejecting his challenge under Batson v. Kentucky, 476 U.S. 79, 106 S.Ct. 1712, 90 L.Ed.2d 69 (1986), to the government’s peremptory strikes of African American venire persons. For the following reasons, we affirm.
