1Opinion of the Court
GRUENDER, Circuit Judge.
Rudolph Stanko appeals his convictions for two counts of possessing firearms and ammunition by a prohibited person, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1). On appeal, Stanko’s primary argument is that the district court1 erred in concluding that Stan-ko qualifies as a prohibited person under § 922(g)(1) because his 1984 conviction for violating the Federal Meat Inspection Act (FMIA) does not fall within the “business practices” exclusion of 18 U.S.C. § 921(a)(20)(A). We disagree and affirm the convictions.
