PER CURIAM:
Jian-Yun Dong appeals the district court’s orders denying his motion to release
assets, granting the United States’ motion to dismiss the forfeiture order as to Dong’s
personal assets that were restrained and have those assets applied toward restitution, and
denying reconsideration. We have reviewed the record and the district court’s orders and
affirm. United States v. Dong, No. 2:11-cr-00511-BHH-1 (D.S.C. Sept. 23, 2022;
Dec. 8, 2022). We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are
adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid the
decisional process.
AFFIRMED
