1Opinion of the Court
FLAUM, Circuit Judge.
The defendant, Bernard “Manny” Hawkins, appeals from his conviction on seven counts of illegal possession, transfer, and dealing in firearms, and one count of conspiracy to possess and transfer firearms. He alleges that neither the waiver of his Miranda rights nor his confession was voluntary. He also asserts that the trial court erred in admitting certain statements, and that the court improperly refused to give his proffered entrapment instruction. We reject each of these contentions, and affirm Hawkins’ conviction.
