                  Appeal from United States District Court
              for the Eastern District of Arkansas - Little Rock
                               ____________

                       Submitted: November 24, 2020
                         Filed: December 8, 2020
                              [Unpublished]
                              ____________

Before COLLOTON, SHEPHERD, and KOBES, Circuit Judges.
                         ____________
PER CURIAM.

       Anthony Waits appeals after the district court1 entered an amended order of
forfeiture, following this court’s affirmance of his wire fraud conviction and remand
of the forfeiture issue for further proceedings.

       Upon careful review, we conclude that the district court did not err by ordering
forfeiture under 18 U.S.C. § 981(a)(1)(C) and 28 U.S.C. § 2461(c). Although the
indictment cited only 18 U.S.C. § 982, Waits had adequate notice that the government
intended to seek forfeiture. See Fed. R. Crim. P. 32.2(a); United States v. Silvious,
512 F.3d 364, 370 (7th Cir. 2008). Accordingly, we affirm, see 8th Cir. R. 47B, and
deny Waits’s pending motion as moot.
                       ______________________________

       The Honorable James M. Moody Jr., United States District Judge for the
Eastern District of Arkansas.
