STIPULATION AND ORDER EXTENDING

THE UNITED STATES’ TIME TO FILE A

COMPLAINT FOR FORFEITURE AND/OR

TO OBTAIN AN INDICTMENT ALLEGING

FORFEITURE

It is hereby stipulated by and between the United States of America and Claimant Amen

Ahmed Ali (hereafter “Claimant”), by and through his respective attorney, as follows:

1. On or about November 6, 2006, Claimant filed a claim, in the administrative

forfeiture proceeding, with the Federal Bureau of Investigation with respect to the approximately

$3,199.20 in U.S. Currency, approximately $230.61 in U.S. Currency, and approximately $1,067.15

in U.S. Currency (hereafter “currency”), which was seized on or about September 7, 2006.

2. The Federal Bureau of Investigation has sent the written notice of intent to forfeit

required by 18 U.S.C. § 983(a)(1)(A) to all known interested parties. The time has expired for any

person to file a claim to the currency under 18 U.S.C. § 983(a)(2)(A)-(E), and no person other than

the Claimant has filed a claim to the currency as required by law in the administrative forfeiture

proceeding.

3. Under 18 U.S.C. § 983(a)(3)(A), the United States is required to file a complaint for

forfeiture against the currency and/or to obtain an indictment alleging that the currency is subject to

forfeiture within 90 days after a claim has been filed in the administrative forfeiture proceedings,

unless the court extends the deadline for good cause shown or by agreement of the parties.

4. By Stipulation and Order filed on February 5, 2007, the parties stipulated to extend

to March 30, 2007, the time in which to file a Complaint for Forfeiture and/or to Obtain an

Indictment Alleging Forfeiture. 

5. By Stipulation and Order filed on April 2, 2007, the parties stipulated to extend to

June 30, 2007, the time in which to file a Complaint for Forfeiture and/or to Obtain an Indictment

Alleging Forfeiture.

6. By Stipulation and Order filed on July 5, 2007, the parties stipulated to extend to July

31, 2007, the time in which to file a Complaint for Forfeiture and/or to Obtain an Indictment

Alleging Forfeiture. 

7. As provided in 18 U.S.C. § 983(a)(3)(A), the parties wish by agreement to extend to

October 31, 2007, the time in which the United States is required to file a civil complaint for

forfeiture against the currency and/or to obtain an indictment alleging that the currency is subject to

forfeiture. The parties request the extension as they have reached an agreement regarding disposition

of the asset that should make filing a civil complaint unnecessary and need additional time to finalize

the agreement.
