Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Avon Carroll appeals from the district court’s decree
and judgment directing the forfeiture of $447,815 in United
States currency in the United States’ in rem action seeking
forfeiture of the currency under 21 U.S.C.A. § 881(a)(6) (West
2006 & Supp. 2011) and 18 U.S.C.A. § 981(a)(1)(C) (West 2006 &
Supp. 2011). Carroll argues that the district court erred in
adopting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and striking
his claim for the currency and his answer to the United States’
verified complaint. We have reviewed the record and find no
reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated
by the district court. United States v. Currency, U.S.,
$447,815.00, No. 1:09-cv-00204-CCE-PTS (M.D.N.C. Sept. 2 &
Sept. 7, 2011). 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
