Salgado v. United States
Petition for certiorari denied on April 6, 2020
Issues: (1) Under what circumstances a civil forfeiture claimant “substantially prevail[s]” under 28 U.S.C. § 2465(b)(1); and (2) whether, in civil forfeiture lawsuits, when a district court
has ordered the United States to return the seized
money and the lawsuit will never be refiled, it is
an abuse of discretion for the dismissal to be
without prejudice.
