United States First Circuit

In a civil action, following the reversal of plaintiff's prison sentence for drug conspiracy after four years imprisonment, the district court's judgment following a bench trial is affirmed where: 1) plaintiff did not submit a timely claim at his earlier forfeiture proceeding, barring his Federal Torts Claim Act claim; 2) plaintiff's constitutional takings claim is barred by his failure to comply with 18 U.S.C. section 983 ; and 3) plaintiff failed to prove the malice element of malicious prosecution required under Puerto Rico law.
