Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Oregon, Malcolm F. Marsh, District Judge, Presiding.

Before FARRIS, BRUNETTI, and SILVERMAN, Circuit Judges.

MEMORANDUM

This disposition is not appropriate for publication and may not be cited to or by the courts of this circuit except as may be provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.

The Christian Patriot Association ("CPA") appeals the district court's denial of its motion pursuant to Fed.R.Crim.P. 41(e) for the return of approximately $312,000 seized by federal agents during a search of CPA's business premises. Because a grand jury investigation into the activities of CPA and its account holders is ongoing, we lack jurisdiction. See DeMassa v. Nunez, 747 F.2d 1283, 1286 (9th Cir.1984).

CPA did not file a reply brief or otherwise respond to the United States' assertions that a grand jury proceeding is ongoing and that this court lacks jurisdiction.

DISMISSED.
