ORDER AND JUDGMENT *

After examining the briefs and the appellate record, this panel has determined unanimously that oral argument would not materially assist the determination of this appeal. See Fed.R.App.P. 34(a)(2); 10th Cir.R. 34.1(G). The case is therefore ordered submitted without oral argument.

Appellant, proceeding pro se, appeals the district court’s decision that equitable tolling of the statute of limitations permits the government to proceed in a judicial forfeiture action against Appellant’s personal property. In Juda v. Nerney, No. 99-2070, 2000 WL 419823 (10th Cir. Apr. 17, 2000), we held that the government must return to Appellant items of his personal property or their monetary equivalents unless “the government has a valid *711 argument against the operation of the statute of limitations.” Id. at *3. Upon remand for such a determination, the magistrate judge concluded that equitable tolling principles should apply in this case, citing United States v. $57,960.00 in U.S. Currency, 58 F.Supp.2d 660 (D.S.C. 1999), for support. Record, Doe. 59, at 7-9. The magistrate judge recommended that the statute of limitations on bringing a forfeiture action be tolled from October 27, 1991, until April 17, 2000, with respect to all items of Appellant’s personal property and jewelry. See id. at 10. The district court adopted the magistrate judge’s analysis and recommendations. Record, Doc. 68. After reviewing the analysis of the magistrate judge and the decision of the district court, we AFFIRM for the reasons given in those opinions.
