 NOW THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, ADJUDGED AND DECREED: 

 That based on the Plea Agreement, the guilty plea, and Fed.R.Crim.P 32.2(b)(3), and 

pursuant to the defendants’ consent, all right, title and interest of defendant, JENNIFER

 Pursuant to 21 U.S.C. § 853(n)(1) the United States is required to “publish notice of the 

order and of its intent to dispose of the property in such manner as the Attorney General may 

direct.” The United States, exercising the discretion provided it by Supplemental Rule 

G(4)(a)(iv), has advised the Court that it will satisfy its legal obligation by “posting a notice on 

an official internet government forfeiture site (www.forfeiture.gov) for at least 30 consecutive 

days.” Accordingly, the United States shall publish notice on www.forfeiture.gov for at least 30 

consecutive days. 

 In accordance with 21 USC § 853(n)(1)-(3), the notice shall accomplish at least the 

following: 

● provide notice of the entry of this order 

● declare the United States’ intent to dispose of the property in such manner as the 

 Attorney General may direct;

 be set forth in the notice); 

● provide the Clerk’s address for filing of the petition; 

● explain that the petition shall be signed by the petitioner under penalty of perjury; 

 and 

● explain that the petition 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, or interest, and any additional facts 

 supporting the petitioner’s claim and the relief sought. 

 The United States may also, to the extent practicable, provide direct written notice to any 

person known to have alleged an interest in the property that is the subject of the Order of 

Forfeiture, as a substitute for published notice as to those persons so notified. 

 After the disposition of any motion filed under Fed. R. Crim. P.32.2(c)(1)(A) and before 

a hearing on the petition, discovery may be conducted in accordance with the Federal Rules of 

Civil Procedure upon showing that such discovery is necessary or desirable to solve factual 

issues. 

 The United States shall have clear title to the property following the Court’s disposition 

of all third-party interests, or, if none, following the expiration of the period provided in Title 21, 

United States Code, Section 853(n)(2) for the filing of third-party petitions. 

 The Court shall retain jurisdiction to enforce this Order, and to amend it as necessary, pursuant to 

Fed. R. Crim. P. 32.2(e).
