PER CURIAM:

     Appellant appeals from the district court's order granting the

government's summary judgment motion and from the court's final

decree of forfeiture. We have reviewed the record and the district

court's opinions and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we

affirm. See United States v. Ursery, ___ U.S. ___, 

(U.S. June 24, 1996) (Nos. 95-345, 95-346). We dispense with oral

argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately

presented in the materials before the court and argument would not
aid the decisional process.




                                                          AFFIRMED
