UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 03-7337
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff - Appellee,
versus
CLEVELAND NELSON,
Defendant - Appellant.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern
District of North Carolina, at Fayetteville. Malcolm J. Howard,
District Judge. (CR-94-57)
Submitted: January 28, 2004 Decided: February 26, 2004
Before WILKINSON, NIEMEYER, and MICHAEL, Circuit Judges.
Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Cleveland Nelson, Appellant Pro Se. Jane J. Jackson, Assistant
United States Attorney, Raleigh, North Carolina, for Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Cleveland Nelson appeals the district court’s orders
denying relief on Nelson’s Fed. R. Crim. P. 41(e) motion for return
of property and denying his motion for reconsideration. See United
States v. Nelson, No. CR-94-57 (E.D.N.C. June 24, 2003; Aug. 18,
2003). We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error
because Nelson had notice of the contested forfeiture no later than
April 1995, more than six years before he filed the Rule 41(e)
motion. See 28 U.S.C. § 2401(a) (2000); United States v. Minor,
228 F.3d 352, 359 (4th Cir. 2000). Accordingly, we affirm. 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
