R. 47.5.4. IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT
No. 00-50470 Summary Calendar UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Petitioner-Appellee, versus REAL PROPERTY LOCATED AT 2801 DOUG FORD, EL PASO, TEXAS WITH ALL APPURTENANCES AND IMPROVEMENTS THEREON, Respondent, JOSE LUIS SAMANIEGO, Claimant-Appellant. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas (USDC No. EP-99-CV-246) January 23, 2001 Before REAVLEY, DeMOSS and BENAVIDES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: * Claimant-appellant Jose Luis Samaniego appeals the district courtÂ’s order entering summary judgment for the United States of America in this forfeiture suit.
Samaniego argues that the district court erred in refusing to apply the § 881(a)(7). Samaniego admitted that the property was used in commission of the drug offense. Whether we look for a substantial connection or a facilitation between the property and the offense, the property was subject to forfeiture as the district court ruled.
Affirmed.
