   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  03-2960
   District of Nebraska   
Civil case - forfeiture. District court did not err in holding defendant had waived Eighth Amendment challenge to forfeiture by failing to raise it on a timely basis under the pretrial order; district court did not err in granting the government's motion to conform the pleadings to the evidence as the issues were tried without objection; evidence was sufficient to support forfeiture, as the government proved by a preponderance of the evidence that the money seized was substantially connected to drug trafficking.
