   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas - Little Rock   
[PUBLISHED] [Shepherd, Author, with Wollman and Erickson, Circuit Judges] Civil case - Forfeiture. The court declines to review again the issue of whether the United States committed fraud in obtaining Dr. Mann's criminal convictions as it has reviewed the matter in both his direct criminal appeal and in denying a certificate of appealability in his Section 2255 petition; the district court did not err in refusing to permit discovery on this fraud issue; the district court did not err in forfeiting an unregistered shotgun as Mann could not lawfully possess it; the government was not collaterally estopped from seeking forfeiture by the jury's verdict finding Mann not guilty of illegal possession of the shotgun; the district court had jurisdiction to dispose of 93 weapons seized from Mann as he could not lawfully possess them as a convicted felon; further, Mann moved the court to use the proceeds of the sale to pay his outstanding debt and, since the holder of a judgment lien was the only claimant asserting an interest in the weapons, the court had equitable power to order the proceeds given to the judgment holder; the district court did not err in determining Mrs. Mann had no ownership interest in the guns and is not entitled to any proceeds from their sale.
