STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER

SEEKING FURTHER STAY OF ACTION

Plaintiff, United States of America, and Claimant David Warthen, hereby apply to the

Court for an order for a further stay of the civil forfeiture proceedings, pursuant to Title 18,

United States Code, Section 981(g), and a continuance of the case management conference

currently scheduled for January 20, 2006. The parties contend that this matter is directly related

Investigations. The investigation concerns the alleged underlying criminal activity from which

the allegations in the forfeiture complaint in large part are based. Absent a stay, both parties

contend that their right to discoverable information in connection with this proceeding will be

severely hampered. Consequently, the parties agree that a stay in the forfeiture proceedings is

appropriate. The parties thus request that matter be stayed pending resolution of the related

criminal investigation. Accordingly, the parties request that the matter be set for further status in

approximately 120 days.
