Affirmed by unpublished PER CURIAM opinion.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

Ian Andre Persaud appeals the district court’s order denying his motion for return of his property under Fed.R.Crim.P. 41(g). Our review is for an abuse of discretion. Peloro v. United States, 488 F.3d 163, 173 (3d Cir. 2007). A district court abuses its discretion if it fails or refuses to exercise discretion, or if it relies on an erroneous factual or legal premise. DIRECTV, Inc. v. Rawlins, 523 F.3d 318, 323 (4th Cir. 2008) (citing James v. Jacobson, 6 F.3d 233, 239 (4th Cir. 1993)).

We conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying Persaud’s motion because it was filed in the wrong district. Rule 41(g) requires that the motion be filed “in the district where the property was seized.” Here, the property was seized in the Greensboro area, which lies within the Middle District of North Carolina. The district court therefore properly denied the motion and correctly advised Persaud to pursue his *173 request in the Middle District of North Carolina or through the state judicial system.

Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the district court. 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.
