able, or liable to deterioration, decay, or injury by
being detained in custody pending the action;

sive or disproportionate; or

release of the property.

E(9)(b)(i), the court, on motion by a defendant or a

court, on a party’s motion or on its own, may enter any order
necessary to preserve the property and to prevent its
removal.
