Defendants.

It is hereby stipulated by and between the United States of America and potential claimant Robert 

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

1. On or about June 8, 2018, claimant Robert Kurtz filed claims in the administrative 

forfeiture proceeding with the U.S. Postal Inspection Service (“USPIS”) with respect to fifteen amounts 

of U.S. Currency listed in the above-caption totaling $120,600.00 (hereafter “defendant currency”), 

which were seized on April 2, 5, 9, and 10, 2018. 

2. The USPIS 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.

3. 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 September 6, 2018.

4. By Stipulation and Order filed September 7, 2018, the parties stipulated to extend to 

December 5, 2018, 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.
