HEANEY, Circuit Judge.
Following a jury trial, Robert L. Hill was convicted of possession with intent to distribute crack, possession of a firearm in relation to a drug trafficking crime, and being a felon in possession of a firearm. Hill appeals, contending that the district court 1 erred in failing to suppress evidence that he contends was illegally obtained. He further argues that his conviction for being a felon in possession of a firearm cannot stand because Congress ex ceeded its authority in enacting the statute of conviction. We affirm.
