PER CURIAM:

     Felix Oriakhi appeals the district court's denials of his

motions for return of property. We have reviewed the record and the

district court's opinions and find no reversible error. As to

Appeal No. 95-6941, we affirm on the reasoning of the district

court. Oriakhi v. Bialese, No. CA-93-3574-K (D. Md. June 6, 1995).
     As to Appeal No. 95-8601, we affirm substantially on the

reasoning of the district court. Oriakhi v. United States, Nos. CR-
90-72-K; CA-95-1396-K (D. Md. Dec. 22, 1995). While we find that

Oriakhi's claim for return of property is more properly construed

as a motion pursuant to Fed. R. Crim. P. 41(e), we affirm the
district court's denial of relief on this claim on the grounds of

res judicata and/or collateral estoppel. As for Oriakhi's claims

regarding double jeopardy and sentencing, we affirm the district
court's determination that such claims are more properly brought

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (1988). We dispense with oral argument

because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in

the materials before the Court and argument would not aid the deci-

sional process.

                                                          AFFIRMED
