U.S. v. Henson

Defendant appealed from a district court order granting the government’s motion to apply cash found in the defendant’s car toward the amount of money he owed in restitution, arguing that the money was confiscated illegally. The Seventh Circuit declined to reach the merits of the appeal, explaining that it lacked appellate jurisdiction because there was no final decision and that the motion was not properly assigned to the magistrate judge.
