1Opinion of the CourtOpala, J.
¶ 1 The dispositive issues on certiorari are: (1) Did the trial court err in refusing to consolidate two discrete claims to money seized in separate arrests? (2) Is summary process appropriate in statutory civil in rem forfeiture cases? (3) Is the trial court’s judgment of forfeiture supported by a preponderance of the evidence? We answer the first question in the negative and the second and third questions in the affirmative.
