STIPULATION AND ORDER EXTENDING
TIME FOR FILING A COMPLAINT FOR
FORFEITURE AND/OR TO OBTAIN AN
INDICTMENT ALLEGING FORFEITURE
It is hereby stipulated by and between the United States of America and claimants David Timothy Eugene Brown and Anne Therese Oropeza ("claimants"), by and through their respective attorneys, as follows:
1. On or about December 21, 2010, claimants filed a claim, in the administrative forfeiture proceedings, with the Federal Bureau of Investigation with respect to the six assets listed in the above caption (hereafter the "defendant assets"), which were seized on or about September 21 and 22, 2010.
2. The Federal Bureau of Investigation 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 assets under 18 U.S.C. § 983(a)(2)(A)-(E), and no person other than the claimants have filed a claim to the defendant assets 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 assets and/or to obtain an indictment alleging that the defendant assets are 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. That deadline was March 21, 2011.
4. By Stipulation and Order filed March 22, 2011, the parties stipulated to extend to June 21, 2011 the time in which the United States is required to file a civil complaint for forfeiture against the defendant funds and/or to obtain an indictment alleging that the defendant funds are subject to forfeiture.
5. By Stipulation and Order filed June 16, 2011, the parties stipulated to extend to September 21, 2011 the time in which the United States is required to file a civil complaint for forfeiture against the defendant funds and/or to obtain an indictment alleging that the defendant funds are subject to forfeiture.
6. As provided in 18 U.S.C. § 983(a)(3)(A), the parties wish by agreement to further extend to December 21, 2011 the time in which the United States is required to file a civil complaint for forfeiture against the defendant assets and/or to obtain an indictment alleging that the defendant assets are subject to forfeiture.
7. Accordingly, the parties agree that the deadline by which the United States shall be required to file a complaint for forfeiture against the defendant assets and/or to obtain an indictment alleging that the defendant assets are subject to forfeiture shall be extended to December 21, 2011.
