ORDER REGARDING CLERK'S ISSUANCE OF WARRANT FOR ARREST OF ARTICLES IN REM
KENDALL J. NEWMAN, CHIEF UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
WHEREAS, a Verified Complaint for Forfeiture In Rem has been filed on August 10, 2023, in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California, alleging that the defendant 2021 Cadillac Escalade 600, VIN: 1GYS4BKL6MR219654, License Number: 8WAE131 (hereafter “defendant vehicle”) is subject to forfeiture to the United States pursuant to 21 U.S.C. §§ 881(a)(4) and 881(a)(6) for one or more violations of 21 U.S.C. §§ 841 et seq.;
And, the Court being satisfied that, based on the Verified Complaint for Forfeiture In Rem and the affidavit of Drug Enforcement Administration Special Agent James Bonanno, there is probable cause to believe that the defendant vehicle so described constitutes property that is subject to forfeiture for such violation(s), and that grounds for the issuance of a Warrant for Arrest of Articles In Rem exist, pursuant to Rule G(3)(b)(i) of the Supplemental Rules for Admiralty or Maritime Claims and Asset Forfeiture Actions;
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Clerk for the United States District Court, Eastern District of California, shall issue a Warrant for Arrest of Articles In Rem for the defendant vehicle.
