MEMORANDUM**

2
Jim Duane Thorpe interlocutorily appeals the district court's denial of his motion to dismiss the indictment against him on double jeopardy grounds.  We dismiss the appeal as frivolous under  United States v. Washington, 69 F.3d 401, 403 n. 2 (9th Cir.1995).  Thorpe's contention that his criminal indictment violates the Double Jeopardy Clause because he had already been punished for the same conduct through prior seizure of his firearms is foreclosed by  United States v. Ursery, No. 95-345, 1996 WL 340815 (U.S. June 24, 1996) and  United States v. One Assortment of 89 Firearms, 465 U.S. 354 (1984).
