PER CURIAM:

     Macey Wilson appeals his conviction for being a felon in pos-

session of a firearm, 18 U.S.C.A. § 922(g)(1) (West Supp. 2000).

Wilson claims that the district court erred when it refused to

instruct the jury on identification testimony using the model

instruction that this court approved in United States v. Holley,

502 F.2d 273, 277-78 (4th Cir. 1974).   We have reviewed the record

and the briefs and find that the district court did not abuse its

discretion in failing to give a Holley instruction.     See United

States v. Patterson, 150 F.3d 382, 387-88 (4th Cir. 1998), cert.

denied, 525 U.S. 1086 (1999). Accordingly, we affirm Wilson’s con-

viction and sentence.   We dispense with oral argument because the

facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the mate-

rials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional

process.
