It is hereby stipulated by and between the United States of America and claimant Juan Jose Domingo ("claimant"), by and through their respective counsel, as follows:
1. On or about December 7, 2012, claimant Juan Jose Domingo filed a claim, in the administrative forfeiture proceedings, with the Drug Enforcement Administration with respect to the 2009 Kubota LA854 Front End Loader Tractor, Serial Number: SS50555 (hereafter "defendant vehicle"), which was seized on September 20, 2012.
2. The Drug Enforcement Administration has sent the written notice of intent to forfeit required by 18 U.S.C. § 983(a)(1)(A) to all known interested parties. The time has expired for any person to file a claim to the defendant vehicle under 18 U.S.C. § 983(a)(2)(A)-(E), and no person other than the claimant has filed a claim to the defendant vehicle as required by law in the administrative forfeiture proceeding.
3. Under 18 U.S.C. § 983(a)(3)(A), the United States is required to file a complaint for forfeiture against the defendant vehicle and/or to obtain an indictment alleging that the defendant vehicle is subject to forfeiture within ninety days after a claim has been filed in the administrative forfeiture proceedings, unless the court extends the deadline for good cause shown or by agreement of the parties. The deadline is March 7, 2013.
4. As provided in 18 U.S.C. § 983(a)(3)(A), the parties wish by agreement for an extension to June 7, 2013, the time in which the United States is required to file a civil complaint for forfeiture against the defendant vehicle and/or to obtain an indictment alleging that the defendant vehicle is subject to forfeiture.
5. Accordingly, the parties agree that the deadline by which the United States shall be required to file a complaint for forfeiture against the defendant vehicle and/or to obtain an indictment alleging that the defendant vehicle is subject to forfeiture shall be extended to June 7, 2013.
