MOTION FOR RETURN OF PROPERTY
Judge , Jr.
Defendant, Michael Charles ("Charles"), moves this Court to return the following property to him: $27,000.00 in. U.S.. Currency, seized from defendant on January 30, 2008 (the date of his arrest) and, in support of this motion, shows:
1. The above-described property was seized from defendant's premises by agent(s) of the D.E.A., pursuant to a consent search.
2. Since forfeiture of the above-described property was not part of any agreement with the government; and the government has failed to institute forfeiture proceedings within the legal time limits, the said property is not subject to forfeiture.
WHEREFORE, defendant prays that the court will grant this motion and return defendant's $27,000.00 in U.S. Currency seized on January 30, 2008 to defendant.
