MEMORANDUM **
California state prisoner Daniel Según Oyeniran appeals pro se the district court’s summary judgment in a civil forfeiture action the United States filed pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 981 against $65,252 in bank account funds, $2,892 in U.S. currency, and other personal property (collectively, the “Property”). We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291 . We review de novo the district court’s denial of a motion to suppress, United States v. $191,910.00 in U.S. Currency, 16 F.3d 1051 , 1058 n. 14 (9th Cir.1994), and its grant of summary judgment, United States v. 3814 NW Thurman St., 164 F.3d 1191 , 1195 (9th Cir.1999). We affirm.
The district court properly denied Oyeniran’s motion to suppress the evidence seized under three state court search warrants because probable cause may be supported by hearsay and circumstantial evidence. See United States v. *929 Real Property Located at 22 Santa Barbara Dr., 264 F.3d 860 , 872 (9th Cir.2001); see also United States v. Ocampo, 937 F.2d 485, 490 (9th Cir.1991) (holding judicial officer issuing the warrant may rely on the conclusions of experienced law enforcement officers).
