PRELIMINARY ORDER

This matter is before the Court upon the government’s Motion for Preliminary Order 

of Forfeiture (Filing No. 107). The Court has carefully reviewed the record in this case 

and finds as follows:

1. On September 5, 2024, defendant Aleah Meyer (“Meyer”) pleaded guilty to 

Count I of the Information (Filing No. 100) and admitted the Forfeiture Allegation. 

Count I charged Meyer with conspiracy to distribute and possession with intent to 

distribute 50 grams or more of a mixture or substance containing methamphetamine; in 

violation of 21 United States Code section 846.

2. The Forfeiture Allegation sought forfeiture, pursuant to 21 U.S.C. § 853, of 

$7,613 in United States currency seized from 308 N. 40th Street, Omaha, Nebraska, on 

April 18, 2023, as property constituting, or derived from, any proceeds obtained, directly 

or indirectly, as the result of such offense and any property used, or intended to be used, in 

any manner or part, to commit, or to facilitate the commission of, the offense.

3. Based on Meyer’s guilty plea and admission, Meyer forfeits his interest in 

the $7,613 in United States currency, and the government is entitled to possession of any 

interest Meyer has in the $7,613 in United States currency, pursuant to 21 U.S.C. § 853.
