Can the government use an unredacted certified copy of a prior conviction to satisfy its burden under section 922(g) of the Criminal Code?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Moreno, 78 F.3d 595 (9th Cir. 1996):

Moreno argues that the government should not have been allowed to use an unredacted certified copy of his prior conviction to satisfy its burden under 18 U.S.C. 922(g), because the proof that his prior felony was manslaughter was irrelevant and prejudicial. The district court's evidentiary rulings are reviewed for abuse of discretion. United States v. Manning, 56 F.3d 1188, 1196 (9th Cir.1995). There was no abuse of discretion, because this proof was permissible under United States v. Breitkreutz, 8 F.3d 688, 691 n. 4 (9th Cir.1993).
