UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

OAKLAND DIVISION 

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

 Plaintiff, 

 vs. 

APPROXIMATELY $73,562 IN UNITED 

STATES CURRENCY, 

 Defendant. 

Case No: C 08-2458 SBA 

ORDER DENYING UNITED 

STATES’ MOTION TO STRIKE 

BRISCO’S CLAIM

[Docket 52] 

This is an in rem action brought by the United States of America (“the Government”) 

against currency in the amount of $73,562, which was seized from the residence of Eugene 

Brisco (“Brisco”) and his wife, Raashida Moore-Brisco (“Moore”), as money furnished or 

intended to be furnished in exchange for a controlled substance. On January 5, 2010, the 

Government filed a document styled as “United States Motion to Strike Eugene Brisco’s 

Claim.” (Docket 52.) This motion was filed in violation of the Civil Local Rules of this Court. 

Civil Local Rule 7-2(b) requires that every motion be accompanied by a notice of 

motion. Among other things, Rule 7-2(b) requires the first paragraph to include “notice of the 

motion including date and time of hearing,” and the second paragraph to include “a concise 

statement of what relief or Court action the movant seeks[.]” The Government’s motion 

complies with neither of these requirements. As such, Brisco has not received proper notice of 

the motion. In addition, the Government failed to accompany its motion with a proposed order, 

as required by Local Rule 7-2(c). Accordingly, 

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT the United States Motion to Strike Eugene Brisco’s 

Claim is DENIED. Said denial is without prejudice to the United States renewing such motion 

in a manner that complies with the Local Rules in all respects. Mr. Brisco is advised that under 

Local Rule 7-3(a), his opposition to such motion, if renewed, is due at least 21 days prior the
