PER CURIAM:
Joe E. Lewis appeals the district court’s order sentencing him
to ninety-six months imprisonment and five years of supervised
release pursuant to the Armed Career Criminal Act, found at 18
U.S.C. § 924(e) (2000), for a violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1)
(2000). We have reviewed the record and find this appeal foreclosed
by our decision in United States v. Sterling, 283 F.3d 216 (4th
Cir. 2002). Accordingly, the judgment of the district court is
affirmed. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and
legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before
the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
AFFIRMED
