United States Court of Appeals, Eleventh Circuit.

November 17, 2008.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

William C. Collins, Jr., John Michael Kearns, Burr & Forman, LLP, Atlanta, GA, for Appellant.

Amy Lee Copeland, Savannah, GA, for U.S.

Before HULL, MARCUS and PRYOR, Circuit Judges.


PER CURIAM:

Attorney's Title Insurance Fund, Inc. (the "Fund") appeals the district court's dismissal of the Fund's petition, under 21 U.S.C. § 853(n)(2), for an ancillary hearing with regard to the Fund's interest in certain property that was subject to a criminal forfeiture order. The district court held that the Fund's constructive trust on the property is not a legal interest that can defeat the government's forfeiture claim. After review, we reverse.
