PER CURIAM.

Federal inmate Freddie Ross appeals the district court’s1

 partial denial of his

Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 41(e)2

 motion for return of seized property, which

included $8,400 in cash and several noncash items. We have carefully reviewed the

record, and we find no clear error. See United States v. Felici, 208 F.3d 667, 669-70

(8th Cir. 2000) (standard of review), cert. denied, 531 U.S. 1201 (2001). Police

found the $8,400 inside Ross’s girlfriend’s bedroom closet, Ross initially denied any

knowledge of the cash, and he later told police the cash belonged to a Vikings

football player. In addition, Ross’s attorney conceded during the Rule 41 hearing that

the motion was moot with respect to the seized noncash items. 

The judgment is affirmed. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
