No. 96-55065.

United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit.

Submitted Sept. 10, 1996.*
Decided Sept. 12, 1996.

Before: FLETCHER, BRUNETTI and JOHN T. NOONAN, Jr., Circuit Judges.

MEMORANDUM**

Claimant David Chow appeals pro se the district court's denial of his motion for return of real property located at 3927 Locke Avenue, Los Angeles, California, which had been civilly forfeited in 1990 following Chow's 1989 guilty plea conviction. We affirm the district court because Chow's contention that the forfeiture violated the Double Jeopardy Clause since he had already been punished for the same conduct is foreclosed by United States v. Ursery, 116 S.Ct. 2135 (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
