133650P.pdf 08/27/2014 Reggie Matthews v. United States
U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 13-3650
U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - Cape Girardeau
[PUBLISHED] [Benton, Author, with Melloy and Shepherd, Circuit Judges]
Criminal case - Forfeiture. In claim brought by the driver of a car from
which $412,900 was seized, the petition did not explain the nature and
extent or circumstances of Matthews' possession of the funds as required
by 21 U.S.C. Sec. 853(n)(3), and his petition was, therefore, statutorily
insufficient and did not state a legal interest in the funds; the district
court properly ruled Matthews did not meet the statutory requirements and
the court did not err in dismissing his petition.
