District of North Carolina, at New Bern.   Malcolm J. Howard,
District Judge. (CR-00-33-4)

Before WILKINSON, MICHAEL, and KING, Circuit Judges.


Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.


Carlos Rome, Appellant Pro Se.    C. J. Moore, Cherry Point, North
Carolina, for Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

      Carlos Rome appeals the district court’s order denying his

motion for return of property, specifically $6245 in U.S. currency.

We   have   reviewed   the   record   and   find   no   reversible   error.

Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district

court. See United States v. Rome, No. CR-00-33-4 (E.D.N.C. Oct. 2,

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
