MEMORANDUM *

Charles VonLewis appeals the district court’s judgment finding him guilty of being a felon in possession of a firearm, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922 (g)(1), following a jury trial.

Ameline, 409 F.3d 1073, 1084-85 (9th Cir.2005) (en banc).

A defendant seeking relief under the plain error standard must show there is (1) error that; (2) is plain; (3) affects his substantial rights; and (4) “seriously affects the fairness, integrity, or public reputation of judicial proceedings.” United States v.
