NOT FOR PUBLICATION FILED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS AUG 22 2019 MOLLY C. DWYER, CLERK U.S. COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, No. 18-50396 Plaintiff-Appellee, D.C. No. 2:99-cr-00886-SVW-1 v. MEMORANDUM* FRED BLAJOS, AKA Freddie Martinez Blajos, AKA Seal A, Defendant-Appellant.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Central District of California Stephen V. Wilson, District Judge, Presiding Submitted August 19, 2019** Before: SCHROEDER, PAEZ, and HURWITZ, Circuit Judges.

Fred Blajos appeals the denial of his motion for return of property under Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 41(g). We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.

Blajos contends that the district court erroneously denied his claims relating

* This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3. ** The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2). to restitution and failed to treat his motion as a civil action. Reviewing de novo, see United States v. Ritchie, 342 F.3d 903, 906 (9th Cir. 2003), we conclude that the district court properly denied relief. Rule 41(g) pertains solely to motions for return of unlawfully seized property, see Fed. R. Crim. P. 41(g), and Blajos does not seek the return of any property or allege that the government has unlawfully seized any property.

AFFIRMED.
