UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. ONE 1978 MERCEDES BENZ, FOURDOOR SEDAN, VIN: 116-036-12-004084, Defendant, Joseph S. and Patricia Chagra, Claimants-Appellees.

United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit.

August 19, 1983.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Rebecca D. Westfall, Mark M. Greenberg, El Paso, Tex., for U.S.

Richard D. Esper, El Paso, Tex., for Joseph S. and Patricia Chagra.

Before CLARK, Chief Judge, GOLDBERG and POLITZ, Circuit Judges.

CLARK, Chief Judge:

The 1978 Mercedes Benz four-door sedan owned by Joseph and Patricia Chagra was forfeited to the government as a result of its use in the transportation of a sample of cocaine. The Chagras appeal to this court from the district court's judgment forfeiting the vehicle. The government also appeals from the district court's related order which allowed the Chagras to remove a car telephone from the vehicle. We affirm both decisions.
