1Opinion of the Court
JENNIFER W. ELROD, Circuit Judge:
After the United States initiated forfeiture proceedings against funds thought to have been involved in illegal activity, several persons claiming to be the funds’ rightful owners objected and filed a claim pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 983. Upon the government’s motion, the district court dismissed the claim for lack of standing under the statute. The claimants appealed. We reverse and remand.
