UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE DISTRICT OF NEW JERSEY, CRIMINAL DIVISION

COURT CASE NUMBER: 11-403; NOTICE OF FORFEITURE

Notice is hereby given that on June 20, 2011, in the case of U.S. v. Levi Deutsch, 

Court Case Number 11-403, the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey 

entered an Order condemning and forfeiting the following property to the United States of 

America:

Apple Bank Official Check No:10279374 in the amount of $25,000.00 

(14-FBI-001751) which was seized from Levi Deutsch on January 28, 2014, in 

Newark, New Jersey.

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 (August 24, 2022) 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, Clarkson S. Fisher Federal Bldg. and U.S. Courthouse, 

402 East State Street, Room 2020, Trenton, NJ 08608, and a copy served upon Assistant 

United States Attorney Sarah Devlin, Clarkson S. Fisher Federal Bldg. and U.S. 

Courthouse, 402 East State Street, Room 430, Trenton, NJ 08608. 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 

Case 3:11-cr-00403-JAP Document 77 Filed 08/07/23 Page 3 of 6 PageID: 284

Attorney Sarah Devlin, Clarkson S. Fisher Federal Bldg. and U.S. Courthouse, 402 East 

State Street, Room 430, Trenton, NJ 08608. This website provides answers to frequently
