Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Florida
_________________________
(March 27, 2006)
Before TJOFLAT, CARNES and PRYOR, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
On May 23, 2000, the district court sentenced appellant to prison terms
totaling 420 months for conspiring to traffick cocaine and related offenses. In
addition to sentencing appellant to prison, the court, as part of its final judgment,
forfeited to the Government appellant’s interest in $59,000 the Government had
seized. Appellant appealed his convictions and sentences, and we affirmed.
United States v. Cogdell, No. 00-13320 (December 27, 2001) (not published).
On October 15, 2004, appellant filed a motion for return of property, i.e., the
$59,000 forfeited to the Government. The court denied his motion. He now
appeals this ruling.
We affirm. Appellant’s sole means of recourse for obtaining this forfeited
property was in his direct appeal of his convictions and sentences, not a motion for
the return of property.
AFFIRMED.
