ORDER
This matter arises on the defendant's Motion Requesting Return of Mr. Connally's Property [Doc. # 122, filed 5/17/2011] (the "Motion").
The plaintiff seeks return of 14 of 16 firearms seized from the defendant. The United States does not oppose the return of 13 of the firearms. One of the firearms which the defendant seeks to have returned — a Norinco 5.62 mm × 39 machine gun — was administratively forfeited and has been destroyed. The plaintiff agrees that he is not entitled to the return of the Norinco machine gun.
The plaintiff requests that the firearms be returned to his son-in-law, Christopher Green. The United States does not oppose the return of the firearms to Mr. Green "after a background check." The defendant agrees to that condition.
