MEMORANDUM**

2
Richard David Wheaton, a federal prisoner, appeals pro se the district court's denial of his 28 U.S.C. § 2255 motion to vacate the sentence imposed following his conviction for conspiracy to manufacture and distribute methamphetamine.  Wheaton contends that the Double Jeopardy Clause barred his conviction due to the prior civil forfeiture of a computer and currency.  This contention is precluded by the United States Supreme Court's decision in United States v. Ursery, No. 95-345, 1996 WL 340815 (U.S. June 24, 1996).

AFFIRMED.1

 Wheaton also requests that the assets forfeited after his conviction be returned to him.  This claim is also precluded by United States v. Ursery, No. 95-345 (U.S. June 24, 1996)
