Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Ernest Taylor, Appellant Pro Se. Deborah A. Johnston, OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Greenbelt, Maryland, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Ernest Taylor appeals the district court’s order denying his

Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 41(e) motion for return of prop-

erty. We have reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion

and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the rea-

soning of the district court. See United States v. Taylor, No. CR-

97-343-AW (D. Md. June 7, 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
