Before TORRUELLA, Chief Judge, CYR and LYNCH, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM.
Following full briefing and oral argument in this appeal from a district court order dismissing plaintiffs' civil action under 19 U.S.C. § 1305 for lack of jurisdiction, we summarily affirm the district court order, without prejudice to any right appellants may have to institute mandamus proceedings to require the institution of a section 1305 proceeding by the United States Attorney, a collateral attack on the forfeiture proceeding in a new civil action premised on federal question jurisdiction, under 28 U.S.C. § 1331, and any other administrative or judicial proceeding for appropriate relief. The government's so-called "Motion In Compliance With Order Issued On October 6, 1995" is hereby stricken from the record. The parties shall bear their own costs.
SO ORDERED.
