UNITED STATES OF AMERICA v. DANIEL RAY JACKSON
FINAL ORDER OF FORFEITURE
MYRON H. THOMPSON UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
Before the court is the government's motion for a final order of forfeiture (Doc. 43) filed on June 10, 2022.
On March 4, 2022, this court entered a preliminary order of forfeiture (Doc. 29) ordering defendant Daniel Ray Jackson to forfeit his interest in a Smith & Wesson, model FS, .22 caliber CTG SE pistol, bearing serial number T0C1909, and miscellaneous ammunition.
Publication of notice was not required pursuant to Rule G(4)(a) of the Supplemental Rules for Admiralty or Maritime Claims and Asset Forfeiture Actions as the property is worth less than $1,000, and the only potential claimant is the defendant. The government gave the defendant notice in the indictment that it would seek the forfeiture of any firearms and ammunition involved in the commission of the offenses in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1).
The court finds the defendant has an interest in the property that is subject to forfeiture pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 924(d)(1) by 28 U.S.C. § 2461(c), and that the government has established the requisite nexus between the property and such offenses in violation of 18 U.S.C. 922(g)(1).
Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED that the motion for a final order of forfeiture (Doc. 43) is granted as follows:
1. The following property is hereby forfeited to the United States pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 924(d)(1) by 28 U.S.C. § 2461(c): a Smith & Wesson, model FS, .22 caliber CTG SE pistol, bearing serial number T0C1909, and miscellaneous ammunition.
2. All right, title, and interest to the property described above is hereby condemned, forfeited, and vested in the United States and shall be disposed of according to law.
3. The United States District Court shall retain jurisdiction in this case for the purpose of enforcing this order.
4. The clerk of the court shall forward a certified copy of this order to the United States Attorney's Office.
