J. BLAINE ANDERSON, Circuit Judge:
The defendant was charged with possession of firearms by a convicted felon in violation of 18 U.S.C.A. § 922(h)(1).1 The district court dismissed the indictment, finding that the prior conviction was invalid for purposes of 18 U.S.C.A. § 922(h)(1), since it had been dismissed under an Idaho statute which allows the expunction of state criminal convictions.2 We reverse.
