District Court, D. Rhode Island December 5, 1995, Civ. A. 93-0511ML (United States v. One Parcel of Real Property)

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER

LISI, District Judge.

This matter calls into question the constitutional boundaries on the government’s authority to pursue civil forfeiture of an individual’s property after having criminally prosecuted him, when both actions arise out of the same set of facts.
