MEMORANDUM

In the unlikely event that the district court erred in admitting the form indicating that the gun Oelkers was charged with possessing had the same serial number as one purchased by his uncle, the error was harmless. Not only did Oelkers never dispute at trial that his uncle owned the gun, his own theory of the case was that his girlfriend got the gun from his uncle and framed him with it. Moreover, the uncle himself testified that the gun was his, and, as the investigating detective testified, the gun was an unusual model that she’d never seen on the street before.

AFFIRMED.
