United States Ninth Circuit

A criminal forfeiture judgment entered against defendant, who was convicted of conspiracy to transport and harbor illegal aliens, is affirmed, where: 1) there is no implied right to contribution under 18 U.S.C. section 982 or federal common law; and 2) defendant's claim that the forfeiture judgment violates her due process rights because she is unable to seek contribution from other members of the conspiracy fails, because she can point to no constitutionally protected liberty or property interest of which she has been deprived.
