Appellant, Vernell Butcher, was convicted by a jury on June 13, 2000, of being a felon in possession of a firearm. See 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(l)(1994). Butcher received a 300-month sentence and a five-year supervised release term.

Butcher appeals the decision of the district court 4 to deny his motion for a mistrial based on the allegedly improper remarks made by the government prosecutor during closing argument. Additionally, Butcher claims that the district court’s use of the Eighth Circuit’s Reasonable Doubt Jury Instruction impermissibly lowered the government’s burden of proof. We affirm the decision of the district court.

After a careful examination of the record, this Court finds that the trial court did not commit error by denying Butcher’s motion for a mistrial, see United States v. Wadlington, 233 F.3d 1067, 1077 (8th Cir. 2000) (In assessing the prejudicial impact of potential prosecutorial misconduct, the Court considers (1) the cumulative effect of the misconduct, (2) the strength of the properly admitted evidence, and (3) the curative actions taken by the district court), or by giving the jury the Eighth Circuit’s Reasonable Doubt Jury Instruction. See United States v. Harris, 974 F.2d 84, 85 (8th Cir.l992)(Eighth Circuit’s explicit approval of Reasonable Doubt Jury Instruction). Under Eighth Circuit *477 Rule 47B, no further commentary is warranted.
