Wilmer Parker, III, Maloy, Jenkins, Parker, Atlanta, GA, for Defendant-Appellant.

Before TJOFLAT, HILL and ALARCÓN, Circuit Judges.

TJOFLAT, Circuit Judge:

The sole issue in this appeal is whether the forfeiture order imposed against Chaplin's, Inc. ("Chaplin's"), after Chaplin's was convicted of charges under 18 U.S.C. § 1956 and 31 U.S.C. § 5324, violates the Excessive Fines Clause of the Eighth Amendment.1 We find that it does not, and we affirm the district court's judgment.
