152622P.pdf   09/30/2016  United States  v.  Carole Hinders
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  15-2622
                          and No:  15-2624
   U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Iowa - Sioux City   
   [PUBLISHED] [Colloton, Author, with Smith, Circuit Judge, and Erickson, 
   District Judge] 
   Civil case - Asset Forfeiture.Dismissal of action without prejudice at the 
   government's request did not materially alter the legal relationship of 
   the parties, and Hinders is not eligible for an award of attorneys' fees, 
   costs or interest under the Civil Asset Forfeiture Reform Act; the 
   district court did not abuse its discretion in dismissing the case without 
   prejudice rather than with prejudice as Hinders failed to show she would 
   be prejudiced by a dismissal without prejudice. Judge Erickson, 
   concurring.
