United States of America, Plaintiff-appellee, v. Michael Scott Leboss, Defendant-appellant, 91 F.3d 156 (9th Cir. 1996)

 Annotate this Case
US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit - 91 F.3d 156 (9th Cir. 1996) Submitted July 9, 1996. *Decided July 15, 1996

Before: HUG, Chief Judge, and SCHROEDER and POOLE, Circuit Judges.

MEMORANDUM** 

Michael LeBoss, a federal prisoner, appeals the district court's denial of his 28 U.S.C. § 2255 motion to vacate his sentence for conspiring to distribute cocaine. LeBoss contends that the Double Jeopardy Clause barred his conviction due to the prior civil forfeiture of $2,033 in currency. This contention is precluded by the United States Supreme Court's decision in United States v. Ursery, No. 95-345, 1996 WL 340815 (U.S. June 24, 1996).

AFFIRMED.

 *

The panel unanimously finds this case suitable for decision without oral argument. Fed. R. App. P. 34(a); 9th Cir.R. 34-4
