PER CURIAM:

          In these consolidated appeals, Mohammed Hammoude appeals

the district court’s orders denying his post-conviction motions for

return of property under Fed. R. Crim. P. 41(g) and for a downward

departure due to diminished capacity.   We have reviewed the record

and find no reversible error.      Accordingly, we affirm on the

reasoning of the district court.   See United States v. Hammoude,

CR-00-9-A (E.D. Va. filed Oct. 24, 2003; entered Oct. 27, 2003 &

May 17, 2004).   We dispense with oral argument because the facts

and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials

before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.



                                                          AFFIRMED
