internet government forfeiture site, www.forfeiture.gov, began on June 23, 2014, and ran 

for thirty consecutive days, as required by Rule G(4)(a)(iv)(C) of Supplemental Rules for 

Admiralty or Maritime Claims and Asset Forfeiture Actions. A Declaration of Publication 

was filed on July 31, 2014. Potential claimant John Walker was served on June 24, 2014.

Good Cause

The United States has granted an extension until August 24, 2013 for potential 

claimant John Walker to file a claim in this case. As a result, no person or entity other 

than the United States is presently a party to this case. The United States and counsel for 

Walker have also held preliminary settlement discussions.

There is good cause to continue the deadline to file a joint status report in this case 

from August 22, 2014 to October 22, 2014 (or to another date the Court deems 

appropriate).
