recover the costs associated with defendants, including the cost of publication, administration,

and storage from the defendants. 

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the sum of $3,330 shall be delivered to TERENCE

CHARLES SMITH, by and through his attorney, Stephen R. Glazer, as soon as is reasonably

practical after the execution of this Order. 

Claimant has stipulated to and accepts the release of $3,330 in full and complete

satisfaction of the claims made by Claimant to the property seized in this action. Claimant has

also agreed to release and forever discharge all state and local law enforcement officers

identified in the complaint or in the discovery, the United States and the Department of Justice,

the Drug Enforcement Administration, the United States Marshals Service and all officers,

employees, contract employees, agents, and task force agents from any and all actions, causes

of action, suits, proceedings, debts, dues, contracts, judgments, damages, claims, and/or demands

whatsoever in law or equity which claimants, their heirs, successors, or assigns ever had, now

have, or may have in the future in connection with the seizure, detention, and forfeiture of the

above-captioned defendant.

The Court finds that at the time of the seizure the agents investigating the acts described

in the complaint had reasonable cause for the seizure of the funds, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §2465.

The Court also finds that claimant did not substantially prevail regarding the disposition of the

defendant property included herewith, but received the benefit of a settlement agreement which

substantially served the ends of justice. Each party is responsible for their respective costs and

attorney fees. 

DATED this 24th day of January, 2006.
