IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff,

v.

APPROXIMATELY $8,130.00 IN U.S. 

CURRENCY,

Defendant.

2:16-MC-00042-TLN-EFB

CONSENT JUDGMENT OF FORFEITURE

Pursuant to the Stipulation for Consent Judgment of Forfeiture, the Court finds:

1. On September 24, 2015, agents with the United States Postal Inspection Service 

(“USPIS”) seized approximately $8,130.00 in U.S. Currency (“the defendant currency”) from Corey 

Ross Frymoyer (“Frymoyer”) during a parcel interdiction at the Processing and Distribution Center 

located in West Sacramento, California. 

2. USPIS commenced administrative forfeiture proceedings, sending direct written notice 

to all known potential claimants and publishing notice to all others. On or about November 30, 2015, 

USPIS received a claim from Frymoyer asserting an ownership interest in the defendant currency.

3. The United States represents that it could show at a forfeiture trial that on September 

24, 2015, USPIS conducted a parcel interdiction at the Processing and Distribution Center located at 

3775 Industrial Boulevard, West Sacramento, California. During the interdiction, law enforcement 

officials identified a parcel that bore markers consistent with parcels used for shipping contraband. An

investigation traced the return address to Jeremy Leach (“Leach”) in Mifflintown, PA 17059. The 

package was addressed to a P.O. Box number in Folsom, CA.

4. The United States represents that it could further show at a forfeiture trial that law 

enforcement officials presented the package to a drug detection dog, and the dog positively alerted to 

the presence of the odor of narcotics. Law enforcement officials contacted Leach, who gave consent 

to open the parcel. Leach said the parcel contained $8,000.00. When the parcel was opened, law 

enforcement officials located a gym bag. Inside the gym bag was a yellow plastic bag containing 

$8,130.00. 

5. The United States represents that it could further show at a forfeiture trial that Leach 

told law enforcement officials that he had sent the money as payment for a four wheeler he had 

purchased on Ebay. Later that day, an individual identifying himself as Austin Corodaway 

(“Cordaway”) contacted law enforcement officials and said that he was expecting the money from 

Leach as payment for a four wheeler he was selling on Ebay. 

6. The United States represents that it could further show at a forfeiture trial that on 

November 30, 2015, the USPIS received a claim of ownership from Frymoyer, accompanied by an 

affidavit from Leach stating under penalty of perjury that the $8,130.00 was not sent by Leach, but by 

Frymoyer. Frymoyer stated in his claim that he had sent the money to Corodaway for the purchase of 

an ATV he had purchased on Craigslist. 

7. The United States could further show at a forfeiture trial that the defendant currency is 

forfeitable to the United States pursuant to 21 U.S.C. § 881(a)(6). 

8. Without admitting the truth of the factual assertions contained in this stipulation, 

claimant specifically denying the same, and for the purpose of reaching an amicable resolution and 

compromise of this matter, claimant agrees that an adequate factual basis exists to support forfeiture of 

the defendant currency. Corey Ross Frymoyer hereby acknowledges that he is the sole owner of the 

defendant currency, and that no other person or entity has any legitimate claim of interest therein. 

Should any person or entity institute any kind of claim or action against the government with regard to 

its forfeiture of the defendant currency, claimant shall hold harmless and indemnify the United States, 

as set forth below.
