AFFIRMED.
Before MURNAGHAN and WILKINS, Circuit Judges, and SPROUSE, Senior Circuit Judge.
PER CURIAM:
Advertisement
Appellant appeals from the district court's order denying, for lack of federal jurisdiction, his motion for the return of property seized by North Carolina law enforcement officers prior to his indictment on federal drug charges. Our review of the record and the district court's opinion discloses that this appeal is without merit. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court.* United States v. Christian, No. CR-91-230-1-WS (M.D.N.C. Dec. 20, 1993). 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.
As noted by the district court, the property at issue was seized by the state and remains in the custody of the state, subject to a state tax lien
