United States of America, Plaintiff - Appellee, v. Anthony Leon Waits, Defendant - Appellant.


Appeal from United States District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas - Little Rock [Unpublished] Before COLLOTON, SHEPHERD, and KOBES, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM.

Anthony Waits appeals after the district court entered an amended order of forfeiture, following this court's affirmance of his wire fraud conviction and remand of the forfeiture issue for further proceedings.

The Honorable James M. Moody Jr., United States District Judge for the Eastern District of Arkansas. --------

Upon careful review, we conclude that the district court did not err by ordering forfeiture under 18 U.S.C. § 981(a)(1)(C) and 28 U.S.C. § 2461(c). Although the indictment cited only 18 U.S.C. § 982, Waits had adequate notice that the government intended to seek forfeiture. See Fed. R. Crim. P. 32.2(a); United States v. Silvious, 512 F.3d 364, 370 (7th Cir. 2008). Accordingly, we affirm, see 8th Cir. R. 47B, and deny Waits's pending motion as moot.
