202790P.pdf 11/18/2021 United States v. Rosie Farr
U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 20-2790
U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas - Central
[PUBLISHED] [Loken, Author, with Colloton and Benton, Circuit Judges]
Criminal case - Forfeiture. On this record, the Farrs failed to present
evidence supporting their claims of a prior interest in the funds at
issue; under Rule 60(b), excusable neglect does not include ignorance or
carelessness on the part of a party's attorney, and the Farrs' claims that
their failure to respond to discovery requests should be excused due to
the attorney's lack of diligence was properly denied; the entry of a
preliminary forfeiture order in the case was part of the routine
forfeiture process and did not prevent the Farrs from presenting their
claims.
