02/01/2005 ORAL ARGUMENT CALENDAR
04/07/2005 ORAL ARGUMENT HELD
02/16/2006 DISP-QUASHED We quash that part of the decision of the Third District Court of Appeal in Velez holding that a person in possession of property at the time of seizure must show a proprietary interest in the property in order to gain standing to challenge the seizure in an adversarial preliminary hearing. However, we approve that part of the decision holding that Velez did not have standing because he failed to demonstrate that he possessed the currency at seizure. We approve the decisions of the Fourth District Court of Appeal in Baruch and Jean-Louis, except to the extent that certain language in Jean-Louis, 767 So. 2d at 598, can be construed to convey standing to persons who "at the very least . . . were in possession of money at the time it was seized" without sworn proof.

06/22/2006 DISP-QUASHED & REMANDED We quash the decision of the Third District Court of Appeal in Velez holding that a person in possession of property at the time of seizure must show a proprietary interest in the property in order to gain standing to challenge the seizure in an adversarial preliminary hearing. Based on this holding, we remand to the district court for proceedings consistent with this opinion. We approve the decisions of the Fourth District Court of Appeal in Baruch and Jean-Louis.
