See Local Rule 36(c).




PER CURIAM:

      Jose   Antonio   Lozano   appeals    the   district   court’s     order

granting summary judgment to the Government in this forfeiture

action.   We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error.

Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. See

United States v. Lozano, No. CA-98-11-1 (M.D.N.C. May 17, 2002).

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
