UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

 v. 

APPROXIMATELY $305,120.00 IN U.S.

 Defendant. 

2:15-MC-00023-KJM-CKD 

STIPULATION AND ORDER EXTENDING TIME 

FOR FILING A COMPLAINT FOR FORFEITURE 

AND/OR TO OBTAIN AN INDICTMENT 

ALLEGING FORFEITURE 

 It is hereby stipulated by and between the United States of America and claimant David P. Braut 

(“claimant”), by and through their respective counsel, as follows: 

1. The parties seek to extend this matter from September 9, 2016 to November 8, 2016, to 

coordinate and resolve the claimant’s companion criminal case in Nevada County Superior Court. The 

facts underlying this forfeiture action are closely related to those involved in the state criminal case. On 

June 9, 2016, a Nevada County Superior Court Judge found that the government had met its burden to 

criminally charge the claimant with violating state drug laws. The claimant was arraigned and 

subsequently pleaded guilty to one felony count of California Health & Safety Code § 11366, 

maintaining a place for production or consumption of illegal drugs. The claimant is scheduled to be 

sentenced on October 3, 2016. Following sentencing, the United States and claimant do not anticipate

seeking additional extensions of time given the resolution of the companion criminal case. Thus, the 

parties request that the deadlines in this case be extended a final time for sixty days so the claimant may 

conclude his state criminal case. 

 2. On or about December 18, 2014, claimant filed a claim in the administrative forfeiture 

proceeding with the Drug Enforcement Administration with respect to the Approximately $305,120.00 in 

U.S. Currency (hereafter “defendant currency”), which was seized on or about July 7, 2014. 

 3. The Drug Enforcement Administration has sent the written notice of intent to forfeit 

required by 18 U.S.C. § 983(a)(1)(A) to all known interested parties. The time has expired for any 

person to file a claim to the defendant currency under 18 U.S.C. § 983(a)(2)(A)-(E), and no person other 

than claimant has filed a claim to the defendant currency as required by law in the administrative 

forfeiture proceeding. 

 4. Under 18 U.S.C. § 983(a)(3)(A), the United States is required to file a complaint for 

forfeiture against the defendant currency and/or to obtain an indictment alleging that the defendant 

currency is subject to forfeiture within ninety days after a claim has been filed in the administrative 

forfeiture proceeding, unless the court extends the deadline for good cause shown or by agreement of the 

parties. That deadline was March 18, 2015. 

 5. By Stipulation and Order filed March 17, 2015, the parties stipulated to extend to May 18, 

2015, the time in which the United States is required to file a civil complaint for forfeiture against the 

defendant currency and/or to obtain an indictment alleging that the defendant currency is subject to 

forfeiture. 

 6. By Stipulation and Order filed May 14, 2015, the parties stipulated to extend to July 17, 

2015, the time in which the United States is required to file a civil complaint for forfeiture against the 

defendant currency and/or to obtain an indictment alleging that the defendant currency is subject to 

forfeiture. 

 7. By Stipulation and Order filed July 13, 2015, the parties stipulated to extend to October 

15, 2015, the time in which the United States is required to file a civil complaint for forfeiture against the 

defendant currency and/or to obtain an indictment alleging that the defendant currency is subject to 

forfeiture.

to November 8, 2016, the time in which the United States is required to file a civil complaint for 

forfeiture against the defendant currency and/or to obtain an indictment alleging that the defendant 

currency is subject to forfeiture.

ORDER 

 This is the parties’ ninth stipulation to extend the deadline. In light of the claimant’s 

upcoming sentencing on October 3, 2016 in the companion criminal case in Nevada County Superior 

Court, the court finds good cause exists to approve this stipulation. Accordingly, the deadline by which 

the United States is required to file a complaint for forfeiture against the defendant currency and/or to 

obtain an indictment alleging that the defendant currency is subject to forfeiture is EXTENDED to 

November 8, 2016. However, the court considers this deadline to be firm and will not grant any future 

extensions absent extraordinary circumstances. 

IT IS SO ORDERED. 

Dated: September 8, 2016.
