MEMORANDUM**


2
Jerome Mosley, a Nevada state prisoner, appeals pro se the district court's dismissal of his self-styled 28 U.S.C. § 2255 motion to vacate the forfeiture of several parcels of real property.  Mosley contends that the forfeiture violates the Double Jeopardy Clause because it followed his prosecution in state court for drug offenses.  He also claims that the forfeiture violates the Excessive Fines Clause and that it was imposed outside his presence in violation of Fed.R.Crim.P. 43(a).


3
The district court dismissed the petition for lack of jurisdiction because Mosley was not in federal custody and had not exhausted state remedies.  It appears to us that Mosley was not challenging his confinement, in any case.  We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.


4
To the extent that Mosley's motion challenged his confinement, we uphold its dismissal without prejudice for the reasons set forth in the district court's July 21, 1995 order.  Mosley's double jeopardy claims are foreclosed by the Supreme Court's recent decision in  United States v. Ursery, 116 S.Ct. 2135 (1996).

AFFIRMED.

 The panel unanimously finds this case suitable for decision without oral argument.  Fed.R.App.P. 34(a);  9th Cir.R. 34-4
