ORDER

The United States submits the following Request to Extend the Deadline to file a Joint Status 

Report (“JSR”) from October 30, 2015 to December 31, 2015. For the reasons set forth below, there is 

good cause to continue the deadline to file a JSR.

Introduction

On June 15, 2015, the United States filed a civil forfeiture complaint against the above-captioned 

currency and defendant vehicle (“defendant assets”), based on its involvement in federal drug law 

violations. All known potential claimants to the defendant assets were served in a manner consistent 

with Dusenbery v. United States, 534 U.S. 161, 168 (2002) and the applicable statutory authority. 

Additionally, public notice on the official internet government forfeiture site, www.forfeiture.gov, began

on June 20, 2015, 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 20, 2015.

Good Cause

The United States has diligently pursued its forfeiture case against the defendant assets and 

noticed all known potential claimants as required by the Supplemental Rules governing forfeiture cases. 

To date, no party has filed a claim or answer in this case. On July 24, 2015, clerk’s defaults were 

entered against Daniel Potter, Susan Gee, Mark Spooner, Carole Loy, Roderick Battle and Brianna 

Bennallack. On August 14, 2015, the United States filed a motion for default judgment and final 

judgment of forfeiture against all potential claimants. On October 21, 2015, Judge Kendall J. Newman 

signed the Findings and Recommendations recommending that the Court grant the Motion for Default 

Judgment. Potential claimants have 14 days from October 21, 2015 to object to the Findings and 

Recommendations. If no objections are filed, the pending Motion for Default Judgment, if/when 

granted, would terminate the case. 

Accordingly, there is good cause to extend the deadline to file a joint status report in this case 

from October 30, 2015 to December 31, 2015, or to a date the Court deems appropriate.
