1Opinion of the Court
BAUER, Circuit Judge.
Defendant-appellant, Ottriez Sands (“Sands”), was found guilty by a jury of being a felon in possession of a firearm in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1). Sands appeals the district court’s order denying his motion to quash his arrest and suppress the evidence derived therefrom. He claims the search and seizure violated his Fourth Amendment rights. Sands also argues that the district court erred in prohibiting him from making a particular argument to the jury during closing argument. We agree with the district court’s rulings and affirm its judgment.
