UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Rodney Feury HAMMOND, Defendant-Appellant.

No. 01-4929.

United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.

Submitted July 18, 2002.

Decided Aug. 22, 2002.

Thomas P. McNamara, Federal Public Defender, Stephen C. Gordon, Assistant Federal Public Defender, Raleigh, North Carolina, for Appellant. Frank D. Whitney, United States Attorney, Anne M. Hayes, Assistant United States Attorney, Felice McConnell Corpening, Assistant United States Attorney, Raleigh, North Carolina, for Appellee.

Before WIDENER, WILKINS, and LUTTIG, Circuit Judges.

Affirmed by unpublished PER CURIAM opinion.

PER CURIAM.

Rodney F. Hammond appeals his conviction and forty-one month sentence, after a jury trial, for breaking and entering into the Oak Island, North Carolina post office, in violation of 18 U.S.C.A. § 2115 (West Supp.2000), and theft of government property, specifically, cash and money orders, in violation of 18 U.S.C.A. § 641 (West 2000).

On appeal, Hammond argues that, under Fed.R.Evid. 403, the district court erred in admitting testimony from his state probation officer, notwithstanding the district court’s limiting instructions. We review the district court’s determination on the admissibility of evidence for abuse of discretion. United States v. Powers, 59 F.3d 1460, 1469 (4th Cir.1995). Hammond’s claim is meritless. Fed.R.Evid. 403; United States v. Hines, 943 F.2d 348, 353-54 (4th Cir.1991); United States v. Silva, 745 F.2d 840, 844 (4th Cir.1984).

Accordingly, we affirm Hammond’s conviction and sentence. We dispense with *661oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument would not significantly aid the decisional process.

AFFIRMED.
