1Opinion of the Court

BRIGHT, Circuit Judge.

A jury in the district of Minnesota convicted Theodore Varner of being a felon in possession of a firearm. The district court 1 sentenced him to 235 months (19 years and 7 months) in prison. On appeal, Varner argues (1) the evidence was insufficient to support the verdict, (2) the district court abused its discretion in admitting evidence of a crack pipe, and (3) the district court abused its discretion at sentencing by declining to depart or vary downward on account of his physical condition. We affirm.
