 8. The Defendant having agreed to the immediate forfeiture of the Subject Property, 

this Preliminary Order of Forfeiture is final as to the Defendant and shall be made part of the 

sentence and included in the judgment. This order remains preliminary as to third parties until the 

ancillary proceeding is concluded. 

 9. The United States is authorized to seize the Subject Property, whether held by the 

defendant or a third party; conduct any discovery proper in identifying, locating or disposing of the 

property subject to forfeiture; and to commence proceedings that comply with any statutes and 

federal rules governing third party rights, in accordance with Fed. R. Crim. P. 32.2(b)(3). 

 10. In accordance with the direction provided by the Attorney General and Federal 

Rule of Criminal Procedure 32.2(b)(6), the United States shall publish notice of this Preliminary 

Order of Forfeiture and send notice to any person who reasonably appears to be a potential 

claimant with standing to contest the forfeiture in the ancillary proceeding. Publication must take 

place as described in Supplemental Rule G(4)(a)(iii) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, and 

may be by any means described in Supplemental Rule G(4)(a)(iv). Publication is unnecessary if 

any exception in Supplemental Rule G(4)(a)(i) applies. 

 11. The notice must describe the forfeited property, state the times under the applicable 

statute when a petition contesting the forfeiture must be filed, and state the name and contact 

information for the Assistant United States Attorney to be served with the petition. The notice 

Case: 3:17-cr-00143-TMR Doc #: 42 Filed: 04/03/18 Page: 4 of 5 PAGEID #: 229

may be sent in accordance with Supplemental Rules G(4)(b)(iii)-(v) of the Federal Rules of Civil 

Procedure. 

 12. Any person, other than the Defendant, filing a petition to contest the forfeiture of 

specific property, must sign the petition under penalty of perjury and shall set forth the nature and 

extent of the petitioner's right, title, or interest in the property, the time and circumstances of the 

petitioner’s acquisition of the right, title, or interest in the property, any additional facts supporting 

the petitioner’s claim, and the relief sought. 

 13. If a third party files a petition asserting an interest in the Subject Property, the court 

will conduct an ancillary proceeding. 

 14. When the ancillary proceeding ends, the court will enter a final order of forfeiture 

by amending the preliminary order as necessary to account for any third-party rights. If no third 

party files a timely petition, this Preliminary Order of Forfeiture will become the Final Order of 

Forfeiture. 

 15. The United States shall have clear title to the Subject Property following the court’s 

disposition of all third party interests, or if no third party petitions are timely filed, following the 

expiration of the period provided by statute for the filing of third party petitions. 

 16. The Court shall retain jurisdiction to enforce this order; and to amend it as 

necessary, pursuant to Fed. R. Crim P. 32.2(e). 

Dated: April 3, 2018 

SO ORDERED:
