United States Ninth Circuit

In a case involving a challenge to the seizure and administrative forfeiture of two leopard trophies by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service from two hunters who attempted to import the trophies without the proper export permits, judgment of the district court dismissing action is affirmed where because plaintiffs chose to pursue administrative remedies, they waived the opportunity for judicial forfeiture proceedings under 50 C.F.R. section 12.24(a).
