1Opinion of the Court
BAUER, Chief Judge.
This is an appeal from a judgment of forfeiture in favor of the United States against Paul F. Born, III. The district court found that Born had used his one-third interest in property at 916 Douglas Avenue, Elgin, Illinois, to facilitate the felony distribution of cocaine, and ordered the forfeiture of that property pursuant to 21 U.S.C. § 881(a)(7). Born claims that because no substantial connection existed between the cocaine and his property the order of forfeiture was improper. We disagree with Born’s suggested construction of the statute and affirm.
