1Opinion of the Court
Opinion by Judge TROTT; Concurrence by Judge TROTT.
TROTT, Circuit Judge.
Ruby Diane Hysell (“Hysell”) appeals the district court’s grant of forfeiture in favor of the United States on summary judgment. Hysell contends the government lacked probable cause to seek the forfeiture of $42,500 and thus, that she is entitled to go to trial in order to prove that the currency was not entangled with illegal drug transactions. We disagree. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm the district court’s grant of summary judgment.
