MEMORANDUM*

2

Steven Zubkis appeals pro se the district court's dismissal of his Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 41(e) action seeking return of property seized while he was under investigation for securities fraud and associated crimes. This court has jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.

3

Because Zubkis does not challenge the district court's decision to decline equitable jurisdiction, he has waived this issue. Accordingly, we may affirm based on the district court's application of the Ramsden factors. See Pierce v. Multnomah Co., 76 F.3d 1032, 1037 n. 3 (9th Cir.), cert. denied, 117 S.Ct. 1159 (1996); Ramsden v. United States, 2 F.3d 322, 325 (1993) (setting forth four factors a district court must consider in deciding whether or not to exercise equitable jurisdiction)

AFFIRMED.

**

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