Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Rodney Risper appeals the district court’s order denying his

motion filed under Rule 41(e) of the Federal Rules of Criminal

Procedure.    Risper sought the return of $5000 seized when he was

arrested.*    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.   See United States v. Risper,

No. CR-97-134-BR (E.D.N.C. Nov. 19, 1999).   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




     *
       The district court also denied Risper’s request for the
return of a firearm and an address book.        He has waived any
challenge to the court’s denial as to those two items because he
did not address those items in his informal brief. See 4th Cir. R.
34(b).
