MEMORANDUM*
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

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.
