MEMORANDUM*

2
Appellants contend that the seizures and forfeitures of their properties barred subsequent prosecution and punishment under the Double Jeopardy Clause.  We deferred submission until the final disposition of  United States v. $405,089.23, 33 F.3d 1210 (9th Cir.1994), amended on denial of rehearing, 56 F.3d 41 (9th Cir.1995).  The Supreme Court granted certiorari in  $405,089.23 and disposed of that case in  United States v. Ursery, 116 S.Ct. 2135 (1996).  By separate order, we have resubmitted this case for decision.

3
In Ursery, the Supreme Court reversed  $405,089.23, holding that "in rem civil forfeitures are neither 'punishment' nor criminal for purposes of the Double Jeopardy Clause."   Ursery, 116 S.Ct. at 2149.   Therefore, the prosecutions and punishments of the appellants did not violate the Double Jeopardy Clause.

4
AFFIRMED.
