_________________________________ )

Pursuant to the United States’ Motion to Stay the civil forfeiture proceeding in this

matter (Doc. 32), and there being no objection by the claimant,

The Court finds that there is good cause for granting the stay requested by the United

States pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 981(g)(1) as civil discovery will adversely affect the ability

of the Government to conduct a related criminal investigation and/or to prosecute a related

criminal matter. Furthermore, the Government is attempting to negotiate a pre-indictment

settlement that has the potential to resolve this civil forfeiture proceeding as well.

Accordingly,

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Motion to Stay (Doc. 32) is GRANTED for

a period of 90 days from the date of entry of this Order.

DATED this 21st day of December, 2009.
