1Opinion of the Court
SELYA, Circuit Judge.
This appeal marks our second encounter with the government’s accusation that defendant-appellant Robert M. Joost, a previously convicted felon, illegally possessed a firearm in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1). 1 A panel of this court erased Joost’s initial conviction on this charge because the trial court failed to give an entrapment instruction. See United States v. Joost, 92 F.3d 7, 13-14 (1st Cir.1996) (Joost I). A new trial before a new judge and jury, properly instructed on entrapment, yielded the same result. This appeal followed.
