Overview: Defendant's appeal from district court's order ruling on his Fed. R. Crim. P. 41(g) motion that he was entitled to return of watch but not cash seized during his arrest was dismissed under 28 U.S.C.S. § 1915(e)(2)(B) because money was subject to lien under valid order of restitution under 18 U.S.C.S. § 3613(c), so he was not entitled to its return.
