193239P.pdf   09/02/2020  United States  v.  Bryan Howard
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  19-3239
   U.S. District Court for the District of Nebraska - Omaha   
[PUBLISHED] [Kobes, Author, with Gruender and Wollman, Circuit Judges] Criminal Case - Rule 41(g) Return of Property. Following guilty plea to drug distribution charge, Howard sought return of three seized ATVS and video surveillance equipment. The sheriff returned two ATVs to their proper owner and sold the third, and the video surveillance equipment was disposed; the district court denied the motion without an evidentiary hearing. The uncontested record shows the sheriff seized the items unrelated to the federal prosecution and the government did not constructively possess the ATVs. The uncontested evidence showed the video equipment was derivative contraband and thus the district court did not err in denying a hearing on the issue.
