PER CURIAM: Jian-Yun Dong appeals the district court’s orders denying his motion to release assets, granting the United States’ motion to dismiss the forfeiture order as to Dong’s personal assets that were restrained and have those assets applied toward restitution, and denying reconsideration. We have reviewed the record and the district court’s orders and affirm. United States v. Dong, No. 2:11-cr-00511-BHH-1 (D.S.C. Sept. 23, 2022; Dec. 8, 2022). We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

AFFIRMED
