UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff, v. JAMES EDWARD SANDFORD, III, Defendant.
DECISION AND ORDER
Defendant, James Edward Sandford, III ("Sandford"), filed a pro se motion (Dkt. #353) for the return of certain money and property seized by law enforcement officers. The Government filed a Response (Dkt. #356) opposing the motion under Fed. R. Crim. P. 41(g).
Sandford's motion is denied, essentially for the reasons advanced in the Government's Response. As the Government notes, there is still a potential for a trial on those counts on which the jury could not agree in Sandford's trial.
Sandford's appeal is still pending.
CONCLUSION
Defendant, James Sandford's motion (Dkt. # 353) for return of property is DENIED without prejudice.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
