United States v. $121,100.00 in United States Currency, Katie Foster, Claimant-Appellant
Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit
Decided September 2, 1993No. 92-8632PublishedCited by 82 opinions
1Opinion of the Court
KRAVITCH, Circuit Judge:
Appellant Katie Foster seeks relief from a decision of the district court granting summary judgment in favor of the government in this civil forfeiture case. In particular, she challenges the court’s holding that a large amount of seized currency alone may be sufficient to establish probable cause for the forfeiture of that currency under the federal drug laws. See 21 U.S.C. § 881(a)(6) (1988). Although we agree with appellant that the district court erred in its reasoning, because summary judgment was proper for other reasons, we affirm the court’s judgment.
