Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit
Decided June 29, 1988No. 87-2432PublishedCited by 23 opinions
1Opinion of the Court
CUMMINGS, Circuit Judge.
Jose Guillermo Haro petitioned to set aside the forfeiture judgment entered by the district court on July 7, 1987, claiming both that his failure to file a timely third-party claim under 21 U.S.C. § 853(n) resulted from excusable neglect and that he alleged a meritorious defense to forfeiture of his interests in the property. The district court denied that motion on August 19, 1987. Because Haro has demonstrated the inadequacy of the statutory notice given by the government, we reverse and remand to the district court for proceedings consistent with this opinion.
