                           ____________

PER CURIAM.

     Federal inmate Kelvin Settle appeals the district court’s1 dismissal of his
motion for return of property and denial of his motion to sanction the government.

      1
       The Honorable Jean C. Hamilton, United States District Judge for the Eastern
District of Missouri.
Having carefully reviewed the record, we find no basis for reversal. See 18 U.S.C.
§ 983(e)(1) (requirements for granting motion to set aside declaration of forfeiture
include that moving party did not know or have reason to know of seizure within
sufficient time to file timely claim); 18 U.S.C. § 1001 (false-statement offense and
penalties do not apply to party to judicial proceeding). Accordingly, we affirm. See
8th Cir. R. 47B. We also deny the pending motion.
                         ______________________________
