United States Eleventh Circuit

In plaintiffs' appeal from the district court's dismissal of their claim that the DEA lacked jurisdiction over property the DEA seized from plaintiffs and then forfeited to the U.S. in a civil administrative forfeiture proceeding, the appeal is dismissed where the appeal was untimely because Fed. R. App. P. 4(a), which enforced a jurisdictional time limit, was tolled only by timely motions, and plaintiff's Fed. R. Civ. P. 59(e) motion was untimely.
