Description

Order John T. Mather, a pro se federal prisoner, appeals a district court order denying his motion to return a forfeited vehicle filed under Fed. R. Crim. P. 41(e). This case has been referred to a panel of the court pursuant to Rule 9(a), Rules of the Sixth Circuit. Upon examination, this panel unanimously agrees that oral argument is not needed. Fed. R. App. P. 34(a). In April 1989, Drug Enforcement Administration agents seized a 1982 Chevrolet Cavalier as a result of their investigation of plaintiff. The vehicle was seized from Michael Thompson and forfeiture procedures were initiated. Notices were sent to Thompson and plaintiff's wife, Carin Mather, the registered owner of the vehicle. Neither individual contested the forfeiture procedures. In February 1991, plaintiff was notified of the forfeiture and was given the opportunity to contest the proceedings. Although plaintiff objected to the forfeiture, the DEA determined that plaintiff was not the owner of the vehicle. Therefore, the vehicle was declared forfeited.
