Claimants, Gerónimo and Maria Alvarez, appeal from a civil forfeiture judgment. They assign error to the court’s denial of their motion to set aside the judgment.

Claimants are married and reside in California. Gerónimo was stopped by police while driving a borrowed car on 1-5 near Talent, Oregon. Police searched the car and found a small quantity of cocaine in a gum wrapper in the ashtray. Gerónimo was also in possession of $19,300 in cash, and the police seized it. He denied that the cash was drug money and told the police that he had earned the money working at construction sites. A police report prepared in connection with the case indicated that Gerónimo was married and resided in California. Neither his wife’s name nor her address was listed in the report.

Gerónimo was personally served with a “Notice to Potential Claimant” when the police seized the money. An appropriate notice of the pending forfeiture of the money was published in the Medford Mail newspaper. Gerónimo did not file a timely claim with forfeiture counsel. Plaintiff proceeded under the summary procedures authorized in Oregon Laws 1989, chapter 791, section 6, and obtained ajudgment of civil forfeiture on October 15, 1990. See Multnomah County v. One 1984 Chevrolet Corvette, 115 Or App 276, 837 P2d 559 (1992). On March 15,1991, claimants filed a joint motion to set aside the judgment. Their motion was denied.

As an initial matter, plaintiff contends that “[Maria] is not a party to this proceeding.” We treat that contention as a motion to dismiss her as a party to this appeal and allow it. A forfeiture judgment obtained under the summary procedure authorized in Or Laws 1989, chapter 791, section 6, adjudicates only the ‘ ‘interest of a person who engages in prohibited conduct.” Maria was not a party to the underlying judgment, and it therefore did not adjudicate any interest that she may have in the money. Whatever claim she may have to the money could not have been asserted as a ground to set aside the judgment. She may not appeal from the judgment.

Gerónimo had proper notice of the pending forfeiture, but did not file a timely claim. There was no error in denying his motion to set aside the judgment. City of Portland v. $4,345 U.S. Currency, 118 Or App 72, 845 P2d 1301 (1993).

Affirmed as to Gerónimo Alvarez; appeal dismissed as to Maria Alvarez.
