United States V. 1948 S. Martin Luther King Dr‪.‬

The United States filed a civil forfeiture action against 18 defendant real estate properties, and an amended complaint added 13 vehicles as defendant properties. Claimants Marvin Logan, Cleveland Logan and Prince Ella Logan filed claims to the properties and answers to the amended complaint.*fn1 After a bench trial, the district court ordered 15 real estate properties and three vehicles forfeited to the United States. The claimants filed a consolidated direct appeal of the judgment of forfeiture, and their attorney, Bruce Locher, appeals an order imposing sanctions against him. We affirm with respect to the order of forfeiture and remand the matter for the limited purpose of providing Locher with a hearing on the issue of sanctions.
