___________ No. 95-3875 ___________ United States of America, * * Appellee, * * Appeal from the United States v. * District Court for the * Western District of Arkansas.

Nicholas Louis Busich, * [UNPUBLISHED] * Appellant. * ___________ Submitted: March 28, 1996 Filed: April 4, 1996 ___________ Before McMILLIAN, WOLLMAN, and MURPHY, Circuit Judges. ___________

PER CURIAM.

Nicholas Louis Busich challenges his convictions upon his guilty pleas to distributing cocaine base and methamphetamine, in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1). On appeal, Busich argues that a prior uncontested civil administrative forfeiture of a 1984 Chevrolet pickup truck barred his prosecution and conviction on double jeopardy grounds. This argument is foreclosed, however, by our recent opinion in United States v. Sykes, 73 F.3d 772, 773-74 (8th Cir. 1996).

The judgment is affirmed.
