    Before FAGG, BOWMAN, and HANSEN, Circuit Judges.
    _____________
    PER CURIAM.
    Darrell Edward Carter appeals the district court's denial of Carter's
    28 U.S.C. § 2255 motion.         Carter contends the government's seizure and
    administrative forfeiture of his two vehicles, in proceedings he did not
    contest, constituted punishment for his drug offenses and thus barred his
    later    criminal   prosecution    and   conviction.      Carter's   contention   is
    foreclosed by the contrary holdings of the United States Supreme Court and
    this court.     See United States v. Ursery, No. 95-345, 
    1996 WL 340815
    , at
    *3 (U.S. June 24, 1996); United States v. Sykes, 
    73 F.3d 772
    , 773-74 (8th
    Cir. 1996), cert. denied, 
    64 U.S.L.W. 3821
    (U.S. June 10, 1996).           We thus
    affirm the district court.        See 8th Cir. R. 47B.

    CLERK, U.S. COURT OF APPEALS, EIGHTH CIRCUIT.
