082909P.pdf   11/18/2009  United States  v.  Barry Jewell
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  08-2909
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas - Little Rock   
   [PUBLISHED] [Melloy, Author, with Wollman and Gruender, Circuit
   Judges]
   Civil case - Asset Forfeiture. The arguments for and against permitting
   a petitioner prevailing on a 21 U.S.C. Sec. 853(n) claim to receive
   attorneys' fees from the government are too closely balanced for the court
   to conclude that Congress's waiver of sovereign immunity clearly and
   unequivocally applies to this situation, and the district court did not
   err in denying petitioner's request for fees.
