                                    ___________

Before FAGG, BOWMAN, and HANSEN, Circuit Judges.
                               ___________

PER CURIAM.


     John Lee Ivy appeals the District Court's1 denial of his 28 U.S.C.
§ 2255 motion, in which he argued that his criminal conviction constituted
double jeopardy because of a previous civil forfeiture.      We affirm as the
motion, files, and records conclusively show Ivy was not entitled to
relief.   See United States v. Duke, 

, 576 (8th Cir.) (standard
of review), cert. denied, 

(1995); United States v. Sykes,

, 773-74 (8th Cir. 1996) (defendant who did not contest civil
forfeiture was not party to forfeiture proceeding and therefore was not
placed in prior jeopardy); United States v. Clementi, 

, 999-1000
& n.4 (8th Cir. 1995).

Judge for the Eastern District of Missouri.
