Notice is hereby given that on January 09, 2020, in the case of U.S. v. Travis

for the Southern District of Ohio entered an Order condemning and forfeiting the following

the following items: 1 LG cellphone, Model LGLS992, Ser No: MEID

The United States hereby gives notice of its intent to dispose of the forfeited 

property in such manner as the United States Attorney General may direct. Any person, 

other than the defendant(s) in this case, claiming interest in the forfeited property must file 

an ancillary petition within 60 days of the first date of publication (January 15, 2020) of this 

Notice on this official government internet web site, pursuant to Rule 32.2 of the Federal 

Rules of Criminal Procedure and 21 U.S.C. § 853(n)(1). The ancillary petition must be 

filed with the Clerk of the Court, 712 Federal Building, 200 West Second Street, Dayton, 

OH 45402, and a copy served upon Assistant United States Attorney SaMee Harden, 600 

Federal Building, 200 West Second Street, Dayton, OH 45402. The ancillary petition 

shall be signed by the petitioner under penalty of perjury and shall set forth the nature and 

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

circumstances of the petitioner's acquisition of the right, title and interest in the forfeited 

property and any additional facts supporting the petitioner's claim and the relief sought, 

pursuant to 21 U.S.C. § 853(n).

Following the Court’s disposition of all ancillary petitions filed, or if no such petitions 

are filed, following the expiration of the period specified above for the filing of such 

ancillary petitions, the United States shall have clear title to the property and may warrant 

good title to any subsequent purchaser or transferee.

The government may also consider granting petitions for remission or mitigation, 

which pardon all or part of the property from the forfeiture. A petition must include a 

description of your interest in the property supported by documentation; include any facts 

you believe justify the return of the property; and be signed under oath, subject to the 

penalty of perjury, or meet the requirements of an unsworn statement under penalty of 

perjury. See 28 U.S.C. Section 1746. For the regulations pertaining to remission or 

mitigation of the forfeiture, see 28 C.F.R. Sections 9.1 - 9.9. The criteria for remission of 
the forfeiture are found at 28 C.F.R. Section 9.5(a). The criteria for mitigation of the 

forfeiture are found at 28 C.F.R. Section 9.5(b). The petition for remission need not be 

made in any particular form and may be filed online or in writing. You should file a petition 

for remission not later than 11:59 PM EST 30 days after the date of final publication of this 

notice. See 28 C.F.R. Section 9.3(a). The https://www.forfeiture.gov/FilingPetition.htm

website provides access to a standard petition for remission form that may be mailed and 

the link to file a petition for remission online. If you cannot find the desired assets online, 

you must file your petition for remission in writing by sending it to Assistant United States 

Attorney SaMee Harden, 600 Federal Building, 200 West Second Street, Dayton, OH 

45402. This website provides answers to frequently asked questions (FAQs) about filing a 

petition for remission. You may file both an ancillary petition with the court and a petition 

for remission or mitigation.
