PER CURIAM:

     Appellant appeals from the district court's orders granting

the Government's motion for forfeiture of property and denying

Appellant's motion for reconsideration. We have reviewed the record

and the district court's opinion and find no reversible error. Ac-

cordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. United
States v. Perez, No. CA-90-4-L (W.D. Va. Sept. 6 & 28, 1995). 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
