Order Regarding Clerk’s Issuance of Warrant 

for Arrest of Articles In Rem 

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, 

 Plaintiff, 

 v. 

APPROXIMATELY $42,800.00 IN U.S. 

CURRENCY, 

 Defendant. 

CASE NO. 1:20-CV-00727-DAD-EPG 

ORDER REGARDING CLERK’S 

ISSUANCE OF WARRANT FOR ARREST 

OF ARTICLES IN REM 

 WHEREAS, a Verified Complaint for Forfeiture In Rem has been filed on May 22, 2020, in the 

United States District Court for the Eastern District of California, alleging that the Approximately 

$42,800.00 in U.S. Currency (“defendant currency”) is subject to forfeiture to the United States pursuant 

to 21 U.S.C. § 881(a)(6) for one or more violations of 21 U.S.C. §§ 841, et seq.; 

 And, the Court being satisfied that, based on the Verified Complaint for Forfeiture In Rem and 

the affidavit of Drug Enforcement Administration Task Force Officer Dean Cardinale, there is probable 

cause to believe that the defendant currency so described constitutes property that is subject to 

forfeiture for such violation(s), and that grounds for the issuance of a Warrant for Arrest of Articles In 

Rem exist, pursuant to Rule G(3)(b)(i) of the Supplemental Rules for Admiralty or Maritime Claims 

and Asset Forfeiture Actions;
