1Opinion of the Court

TORRUELLA, Circuit Judge.

Defendant-appellant Patrick O’Shea was convicted after a jury trial of being a felon in possession of a firearm in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1). He now appeals, arguing that (1) there was insufficient evidence to support the jury verdict, (2) the district court’s jury instruction on reasonable doubt constituted plain error, (3) the district court abused its discretion in denying his motion to exclude certain evidence, and (4) the district court erred in not striking, sua sponte, certain statements made by the prosecution during closing argument.We affirm.
