Bernardo Segundo Calleja, Appellant Pro Se. Thomas Jack Bondurant, Jr., Assistant United States Attorney, Roanoke, Virginia, for Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c). PER CURIAM:
Bernardo Calleja appeals from the district court's order
denying his motion to correct an illegal sentence pursuant to
former Fed. R. Crim. P. 35(a). Calleja claimed that his sentence
was illegally imposed and that given the administrative forfeiture
proceedings instituted against him, his conviction violated the Double Jeopardy Clause of the Fifth Amendment. We have reviewed the
record and the district court's opinion and find no reversible
error. Accordingly, we deny a certificate of appealability and
dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court. United States v. Calleja, Nos. CR-86-28-R; CA-95-998-R (W.D. Va., May 28,
1996). We note that in the interim, the Supreme Court decided
United States v. Ursery, ___ U.S. ___,
64 U.S.L.W. 4565(U.S.
June 24, 1996) (Nos. 95-345, 95-346), which conclusively decides
Calleja's double jeopardy claim. 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.
DISMISSED
