United States Ninth Circuit

In property forfeiture proceedings brought against defendant in connection with his conviction for drug-related offenses, a decision awarding defendant compensation in lieu of property to be returned under 28 U.S.C. section 2465 and calculating the amount due based on the sale proceeds of the property is affirmed where: 1) contrary to defendant's claim, section 2465 does not require that he receive consequential damages; and 2) there was no error in the lower court's calculation of damages.
