OPINION AND ORDER

PARKER, District Judge.

This case presents the question whether this Court has jurisdiction to hear the Government's complaint for civil forfeiture of a person's property when, at the time it was seized by federal officials, the property was the subject of a Rule 41(e) motion for return of property in state court. We conclude that jurisdiction is lacking and accordingly dismiss the complaint.
