UNITED STATES v. BLAJOS (2019)

United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit.

UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Fred BLAJOS, aka Freddie Martinez Blajos, aka Seal A, Defendant-Appellant.

No. 18-50396

Decided: August 22, 2019

Before: SCHROEDER, PAEZ, and HURWITZ, Circuit Judges.

L. Ashley Aull, Assistant U.S. Attorney, Damaris Diaz, Attorney, DOJ - Office of the U.S. Attorney, Los Angeles, CA, Robert I. Lester, Assistant U.S. Attorney, USLA - Office of the U.S. Attorney, Los Angeles, CA, for Plaintiff - Appellee Fred Blajos, Pro Se

MEMORANDUM **

Fred Blajos appeals the denial of his motion for return of property under Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 41(g). We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.

Blajos contends that the district court erroneously denied his claims relating to restitution and failed to treat his motion as a civil action. Reviewing de novo, see United States v. Ritchie, 342 F.3d 903, 906 (9th Cir. 2003), we conclude that the district court properly denied relief. Rule 41(g) pertains solely to motions for return of unlawfully seized property, see Fed. R. Crim. P. 41(g), and Blajos does not seek the return of any property or allege that the government has unlawfully seized any property.

AFFIRMED.
