PER CURIAM.
Ronnie Blade appeals the district court’s 1 denial of his Fed. R. Crim. P. 41(g)
motion for the return of property. Upon careful review, see Jackson v. United States,
526 F.3d 394, 396 (8th Cir. 2008) (legal conclusions reviewed de novo and findings
of fact reviewed for clear error), we find no basis for reversal. We also find no abuse
of discretion in the district court’s denial of Blade’s motion for appointed counsel.
See Phillips v. Jasper County Jail, 437 F.3d 791, 794 (8th Cir. 2006) (district court’s

denial of appointed counsel reviewed for abuse of discretion; relevant factors) .
Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
