ORDER

On October 11, 2011, the Court granted the Government’s motion to extend the

deadlines associated with the final pretrial conference, even though the Court noted that the

parties had not demonstrated good cause for extending those deadlines. (Doc. 34.) In that

Order, the Court cautioned Claimant Mukhtiar Singh that if he refused to participate in

preparing for the final pretrial conference, the Court would strike his claim and order the

property forfeited. (Id. p.1.)

The Government filed the Proposed Final Pretrial Order (Doc. 35) and its Proposed

Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law (Doc. 36) on November 29, 2011. The

Government noted that Claimant did not participate in preparing the Proposed Final Pretrial

Order, despite the Government making several attempts to contact Claimant and Claimant’s

counsel.
