141787P.pdf   03/23/2015  United States  v.  Mark Brewer
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  14-1787
   U.S. District Court for the District of Nebraska - Omaha   
   [PUBLISHED] [Shepherd, Author, with Loken and Colloton, Circuit Judges] 
   Forfeitures. The government made reasonable attempts to notify Brewer of 
   the forfeiture proceedings by mailed notices and publication; the evidence 
   established Brewer was well aware of the seizure and could have filed a 
   timely claim; government proved a substantial connection between the 
   seized funds and drug activity, and the court did not err in forfeiting 
   the cash; Brewer did not meet his burden of proving innocent ownership; 
   seizure of the cash was not an excessive fine under the Eighth Amendment.
