PER CURIAM:

           Claimant Matthew M. Sills appeals the district court’s

order   entering   judgment   against    defendant   currency   in   this

forfeiture proceeding under 21 U.S.C. § 881(a)(6) (2000).        We have

reviewed the record and find no reversible error.       Accordingly, we

affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. United States

v. Sills, No. 5:05-cv-00418-BR (E.D.N.C. Dec. 22, 2006).               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 decisional process.

                                                                AFFIRMED
