UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee v. Jovica PETROVIC, also known as Joshua Petrovic, Defendant-Appellant, 612 F. App'x 869

PER CURIAM. Jovica Petrovic appeals from the

summary denial of his motion for return of seized property under Rule 41(

g) of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure. In his motion, Petrovic stated that various items had been taken from him in 2010 upon the execution of a search warrant. Upon careful review, we conclude that the

summary denial of Petrovic’s motion was improper. See Jackson v. United States, 526 F.3d 394, 396-97 (8th Cir.2008) (discussing proceedings in a Rule 41(

g) action). Accordingly, we vacate the denial of relief and remand for further proceedings, which shall include requiring the government to respond to Petrovic’s motion.
