Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

           Ronald Lee Pennix appeals the district court’s order

dismissing his motion to return seized property.        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.

Pennix, No. CR-96-763 (W.D. Va. June 24, 2005).         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
