1Opinion of the Court

GRUENDER, Circuit Judge.

Appellant The-Nimrod Sterling was convicted of impersonating a foreign diplomatic officer, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 915, and of being a felon in possession of a firearm, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1). The district court 2 sentenced him to concurrent terms of 57 months’ imprisonment on each count, to be followed by two years’ supervised release. Sterling challenges these convictions, arguing that the Government presented insufficient evidence for a reasonable jury to convict him on either count. We affirm.
