PER CURIAM:

     David and Ruby Cooper appeal the district court’s orders

granting the United States’ motion for forfeiture of the Defendant

Property and denying the motion for reconsideration.        We have

reviewed the record and the district court’s opinions and find no

reversible error.    Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the

district court.     See United States v. Cooper, No. CA-97-354-3-P

(W.D.N.C. Feb. 9 and Oct. 4, 1999).   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 de-

cisional process.    The motion to remand the case to the district

court is denied.




                                                           AFFIRMED
