UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff, v. IN RE NON JUDICIAL CIVIL FORFEITURE PROCEEDING REGARDING $84,020 IN UNITED STATES CURRENCY SEIZED ON OR ABOUT AUGUST 11, 2020, Defendant.
ORDER
PAUL A. ENGELMAYER, District Judge:
On February 8, 2021, the Government initiated this proceeding. Dkts 1, 2. On February 11, 2021, the Court extended the time in which the Government was required to file a complaint for forfeiture of the Seized Currency to April 12, 2021. Dkt 4. The Court has granted such extensions four more times, see Dkts. 6, 8, 10, 12, including on July 8, 2021, when the Court issued its latest order, requiring the Government to file a complaint on August 11, 2021, Dkt. 12.
No such complaint has since been filed. Nor has the Government submitted another request for an extension to file a complaint. The Government is directed to provide the Court, by October 19, 2021, with a letter explaining whether it intends to pursue the case, and if so, when it expects to be able to file a complaint in this case, along with any other steps it envisions to move this matter forward.
SO ORDERED.
