April 20, 1999
Before KING, Chief Judge, STEWART, and PARKER, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Federal prisoner Amin A. Rashid, # 30591-066, appeals the
district court’s denial of his motion for relief pursuant to Fed.
R. Civ. P. 60(b)(1),(3) and the denial of his motion to reopen
the time for appeal pursuant to Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(6). This
court reviews a district court’s decision denying relief under
Rule 60(b) for abuse of discretion. Travelers Ins. Co. v.

Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined
that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent
except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.
R. 47.5.4.
No. 97-20126

Liljeberg Enter. Inc., 38 F.3d 1404, 1408 (5th Cir. 1994).
Because Rashid has failed to establish standing to challenge the
forfeiture of the currency, the district court did not abuse its
discretion in denying his Rule 60(b) motion. See United States
v. $321,470 U.S. Currency, 874 F.2d 298, 303 (5th Cir. 1989).
The court need not address Rashid’s remaining arguments in
his brief because he has no standing to sue. Rashid’s motion to
strike the Government’s brief and motion to file a supplemental
appendix are DENIED.
AFFIRMED.
