Before WILLIAMS, MICHAEL, and GREGORY, Circuit Judges.
Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
John Eric Hughes, Appellant Pro Se. Gurney Wingate Grant, II,
OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Richmond, Virginia, for
Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
John Eric Hughes appeals the district court’s order granting
summary judgment to the Government in its forfeiture action. We
have reviewed the record and the district court’s order and find no
reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the
district court. See United States v. Hughes, No. CA-00-107-3 (E.D.
Va. Oct. 23, 2000). We dispense with oral argument because the
facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the mate-
rials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional
process.
AFFIRMED
