1Opinion of the Court
BYE, Circuit Judge.
A jury convicted Walter Piwowar of three counts of being a felon in possession of firearms and ammunition under 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1), after law enforcement officers seized fifteen firearms and a large amount of ammunition from his home and business properties. The district court 2 sentenced him to 87 months imprisonment. He appeals only his conviction for the firearms and ammunition seized from his business property, arguing he was no longer in possession of them when they were seized, and thus the evidence was insufficient to sustain his convictions. We affirm.
