123,607 – State of Oklahoma, ex rel., Jack Thorp, District Attorney, Plaintiff/Appellant, v. $20,000.00 in U.S. Currency, Defendant/Appellee. Appeal from the District Court of Sequoyah County, Oklahoma. Honorable J. Jeffrey Payton, Trial Judge. In this forfeiture proceeding, Appellant, the State of Oklahoma (State), appeals from the district court’s order dismissing the forfeiture action and ordering the return of $20,000 seized from Reagan Latroy Ringo and Marquell Patterson (Claimants). The State alleged the currency was subject to forfeiture under the Uniform Controlled Dangerous Substances Act (UCDSA), 63 O.S. §§ 2-101 et seq., after law enforcement seized the funds during a traffic stop, despite finding no contraband or filing any companion criminal charges. Claimants moved to dismiss, arguing the State failed to establish a sufficient basis for forfeiture. The district court ultimately dismissed the proceeding five years later and ordered the return of the funds. On appeal, the State argued its Notice of Seizure and Forfeiture (Notice) sufficiently stated a claim under 63 O.S. § 2-503(A)(6). After de novo review, this Court affirmed, holding the State’s Notice failed to sufficiently identify the specific statutory basis for seizure and forfeiture or any particular violation of the UCDSA allegedly supporting forfeiture, thereby depriving Claimants of adequate notice and failing to state a valid forfeiture claim. AFFIRMED. Opinion by MITCHELL, J.; PRINCE, V.C.J., and BELL, J. (sitting by designation), concur. May 26, 2026
