PER CURIAM:

     Curtis Bernard Minor appeals from the district court’s order

finding his motion for return of property barred by the statute of

limitations.   We have reviewed the record and the district court’s

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

the reasoning of the district court.   United States v. Minor, Nos.

CR-91-201; CA-96-394-6 (M.D.N.C. Aug. 13, 2001).   We dispense with

oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequate-

ly presented in the materials before the court and argument would

not aid the decisional process.




                                                          AFFIRMED
