v.
Onofrio CATALANO, Defendant-Appellant.

No. 96-55131.

United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit.

Submitted Sept. 10, 1996.*
Decided Sept. 13, 1996.

Before: FLETCHER, BRUNETTI, and NOONAN, Circuit Judges.

MEMORANDUM**

Onofrio Catalano, a federal prisoner, appeals pro se the denial of his 28 U.S.C. § 2255 motion challenging his conviction for conspiracy and possession and distribution of cocaine in violation of 21 U.S.C. §§ 841(a)(1) and 846. Catalano contends that the Double Jeopardy Clause barred his conviction due to the civil forfeiture of his real property pursuant to 21 U.S.C. § 881(a)(7). This contention is precluded by the Supreme Court's decision in United States v. Ursery, 116 S.Ct. 2135 (1996). See United States v. Sardone, No. 95-50303, slip op. 10917, 10925 (9th Cir. Aug. 30, 1996).

AFFIRMED.

The panel unanimously finds this case suitable for decision without oral argument. Fed.R.App.P. 34(a); 9th Cir.R. 34-4

This disposition is not appropriate for publication and may not be cited to or by the courts of this circuit except as provided by 9th Cir.R. 36-3
