UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff, v. HADIS NUHANOVIC, Defendant.
FINAL ORDER OF FORFEITURE
THE HONORABLE RICHARD A. JONES UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE.
THIS MATTER comes before the Court on the United States' Motion for Final Order of Forfeiture of the following Subject Property:
• $100,000 in United States currency, seized from Defendant's residence.
The Court, having reviewed the United States' Motion, as well as the other pleadings and papers filed in this matter, hereby FINDS entry of a Final Order of Forfeiture is appropriate because:
• On February 2, 2023, the Court entered a Preliminary Order of Forfeiture, finding the Subject Property forfeitable pursuant to Fed. R. Crim. P. 32.2(b)(1)(2), 21 U.S.C. § 853(p), and Defendant's Plea Agreement (Dkt. No. 150), as substitute property, and forfeiting the Defendant's interest in it (Dkt. No. 168);
• Thereafter, the United States published notice of the pending forfeitures as required by 21 U.S.C. § 853(n)(1) and Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 32.2(b)(6)(C) (Dkt. No. 179) and provided direct notice to a potential claimant as required by Fed. R. Crim. P. 32.2(b)(6)(A) (see Declaration of AUSA Jehiel I. Baer in Support of Motion for Final Order of Forfeiture, ¶ 2, Exhibit A); and,
• The time for filing third-party claims has expired, and none were filed.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE COURT ORDERS:
1. No right, title, or interest in the above-identified Subject Property exists in any party other than the United States;
2. The Subject Property is fully and finally condemned and forfeited, in its entirety, to the United States; and,
3. The United States Department of Justice, and/or its representatives, are authorized to dispose of the Subject Property as permitted by governing law.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
