   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  05-3295
   District of Nebraska   
   [PUBLISHED][Colloton, Author, with Arnold and Lay, Circuit Judges]
Civil Forfeiture. District court's grant of judgment in favor of claimants in civil forfeiture case brought by government is reversed. Evidence as a whole demonstrates by a preponderance that there was a substantial connection between currency and a drug trafficking offense. Large sum of cash is strong evidence of a connection, method it was concealed, route of travel, canine alert, inability to identify key party, and unusual rental car papers. Judge Lay dissents.
