POLITZ, Circuit Judge:

Convicted on one count of making a false and fictitious statement in connection with the acquisition of a firearm, contrary to 18 U.S.C. §§ 922(a)(6) and 924(a), 1 Jo Ann Harrelson appeals, contending that: (1) the superseding indictment erroneously included a specific intent element; (2) the trial court erred in declining to instruct the jury on specific intent; and (3) the court erred in refusing to reopen a pretrial • hearing on defendant’s motion to suppress based on an alleged sixth amendment violation.
