Approximately $85,883.00 in U.S. Currency, Approximately $46,657.00 in U.S. Currency, 

Approximately $18,650.00 in U.S. Currency and the Assorted Jewelry (hereafter “defendant assets”),

2. The Drug Enforcement Administration has sent the written notice of intent to forfeit

than the claimants have filed a claim to the defendant assets 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 defendant assets and/or to obtain an indictment alleging that the defendant assets 

are subject to forfeiture within ninety 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. 

That deadline was November 7, 2021. 

4. By Stipulation and Order filed November 8, 2021, the parties stipulated to extend to 

December 7, 2021, the time in which the United States is required to file a civil complaint for forfeiture 

against the defendant assets and/or to obtain an indictment alleging that the defendant assets are subject 

to forfeiture.

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

extend to February 7, 2022, the time in which the United States is required to file a civil complaint for 

forfeiture against the defendant assets and/or to obtain an indictment alleging that the defendant assets 

are subject to forfeiture.
