PER CURIAM.

Dennis Mentzos appeals the district court’s1

 denial of his Federal Rule of

Criminal Procedure 41(g) motion for the return of his seized property. See Fed. R.

Crim. R. 41(g) (person aggrieved by deprivation of property may move for return of

property and court “must receive evidence on any factual issue necessary to decide the

motion”). In light of the additional information provided by the parties to supplement

the appellate record, we affirm the district court’s judgment under 8th Cir. R. 47B.

See Stokors S.A. v. Morrison, 147 F.3d 759, 760 n.2 (8th Cir. 1998) (expanding

record because it allows more complete understanding of events at issue); see also

United States v. Timley, 443 F.3d 615, 625 (8th Cir. 2006) (government, by way of

letter, authorized return of defendant’s property, obviating any need for hearing on

matter).
