IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff,

v.

APPROXIMATELY $18,928.00 IN U.S. 

CURRENCY, 

Defendant.

2:14-CV-02765-MCE-KJN

STIPULATION AND ORDER TO 

EXTEND DEADLINE TO FILE 

JOINT STATUS REPORT

The United States and claimant Kurt Przygoda (“Przygoda”), through undersigned 

counsel, stipulate and request the Court continue the deadline to file a Joint Status 

Report from April 7, 2015 to June 8, 2015. 

On November 25, 2014, the United States filed a civil forfeiture complaint against

the above-captioned currency (“Defendant Currency”) based on its alleged involvement in 

federal drug law violations. All known potential claimants to the defendant properties

were served in a manner consistent with Dusenbery v. United States, 534 U.S. 161, 168 

(2002) and the applicable statutory authority. Additionally, public notice on the official 

internet government forfeiture site, www.forfeiture.gov, began on December 4, 2014, and 

ran for thirty consecutive days, as required by Rule G(4)(a)(iv)(C) of Supplemental Rules 

for Admiralty or Maritime Claims and Asset Forfeiture Actions. A Declaration of

Publication was filed on January 9, 2015 (Doc. 7). Potential claimant Przygoda was 

served on February 17, 2015 (ECF No. 10). 

On January 5, 2015, Przygoda filed a claim alleging an interest in the defendant 

currency (ECF No. 6). No other party has entered this case and the United States has 

provided notice to all potential claimants pursuant to law.

The United States is in settlement negotiations with Przygoda and expects to file 

settlement documents within the extension period. Otherwise, the parties will meet and 

confer, and jointly prepare a joint status report. 

There is good cause to continue the initial scheduling conference and deadline to 

file a joint status report.
