MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Grisales, 116 F.3d 486 (9th Cir. 1997):
Grisales' claim that his conviction and sentence violated the Double Jeopardy Clause in light of the civil forfeiture of his automobile is foreclosed by United States v. Ursery, 116 S.Ct. 2135 (1996). Grisales' claim of inadequate notice during the forfeiture proceedings is not cognizable under 2255, which confers jurisdiction only over challenges to one's conviction or sentence. 1
