1Opinion of the Court
RILEY, Chief Judge.
William Sheridan pled guilty to one count of being a felon in possession of a firearm • in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 922(g)(1) and 924(a)(2), and the district court 2 sentenced him to 108 months imprisonment. Sheridan appeals, arguing the district court committed procedural error and violated his constitutional rights by relying on hearsay testimony introduced at his sentencing hearing which did not possess sufficient indicia of reliability. Having appellate jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, we affirm.
