PER CURIAM.
The defendant appeals his conviction for possession of a short barrel shotgun in violation of 26 U.S.C. § 5861(d), contending that the gun was found as the result of a pretextual stop of his vehicle by the police. Because this case is controlled by the recent decision in Whren v. United States, 116 S.Ct. 1769 (1996), we affirm the judgment below.
Affirmed. Loc. R. 27.1.
