Appeal from the United States District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina, at Durham. William L. Osteen, District Judge. (CA-98-11-1)

Submitted: November 7, 2002 Decided: November 13, 2002

Before WILKINS and LUTTIG, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior Circuit Judge. Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Jose Antonio Lozano, Appellant Pro Se. Lynne P. Klauer, OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Greensboro, North Carolina, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

PER CURIAM:

Jose Antonio Lozano appeals the district court’s order

granting summary judgment to the Government in this forfeiture

action. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error.

Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. See

United States v. Lozano, No. CA-98-11-1 (M.D.N.C. May 17, 2002).

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
