1Opinion of the Court

BEAM, Circuit Judge.

After a jury trial, Katherine Isabel Barr was convicted of possessing an unregistered sawed-off shotgun without identifying serial numbers in violation of subsections (d) and (i) of the National Firearms Act, 26 U.S.C. § 5861. Barr was also convicted of marijuana possession under 21 U.S.C. § 844(a). On appeal, she argues that the district court 1 erred in denying her pretrial motion to suppress evidence and in failing to give Barr’s requested jury instruction on the intent required under the National Firearms Act. We affirm.
