a. $37,250.00 United States currency seized from David Monarrez, a/k/a “Spooky,” and Daniel Gonzalez-Jimenez, on August 31, 2022;
b. $14,425.00 United States currency seized from David Monarrez, a/k/a “Spooky,” and Daniel Gonzalez-Jimenez, on August 31, 2022; and

A Declaration of Publication was filed herein on January 8, 2024 (Filing No. 95).
