Description

The State of Arizona appeals from the trial court's dismissal of its civil in rem forfeiture action. This appeal, which comes to us in a unique procedural posture, raises three issues. The first is whether the state's release of the res to the claimants, in violation of the trial court's order staying release, deprived this court of jurisdiction. We hold it did not. The second is whether the trial court's order dismissing appellees' claim to the res deprived them of standing to proceed. We conclude the order did deprive claimants of standing. The final issue is whether the trial court abused its discretion by refusing to allow claimants to amend their claim to the res. We hold the trial court did abuse its discretion and therefore remand this action for further proceedings.
