UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff, v. SHABBAR RAFIQ (03), Defendant.
ORDER ACCEPTING FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS, AND RECOMMENDATION OF THE UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
REED O'CONNOR UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
The United States Magistrate Judge entered his Findings, Conclusions, and Recommendation in which he recommends that the Court deny Shabbar Rafiq's Motion (ECF No. 649) for Opposition and Stay to an Ex-Parte Final Order of Forfeiture. See ECF No. 666. In response, Rafiq filed “Defendant's Objections to Magistrate's Report and Recommendations.” ECF No. 668.
The District Court reviewed de novo those portions of the Findings, Conclusions, and Recommendation to which objections were made and reviewed the remaining Findings, Conclusions, and Recommendation for plain error. Finding no error, I am of the opinion that the findings of fact, conclusions of law, and reasons for denial set forth in the Magistrate Judge's Recommendation are correct and they are hereby adopted and incorporated by reference as the Findings of the Court.
Accordingly, Defendant's Motion for Opposition and Stay to an Ex-Parte Final Order of Forfeiture (ECF No. 649) is DENIED.
SO ORDERED.
