4                  UNITED STATES V. KIM

                          ORDER

    The Opinion filed August 13, 2015, is amended as
follows:

    Slip opinion page 19: after 
add the following as a footnote: 

    With this amendment, the panel has voted unanimously
to deny the motion of Americans for Forfeiture Reform for
sua sponte rehearing en banc and for court appointment as
amicus curiae. The motion is DENIED as moot.

    On October 2, 2015, the parties to this case filed a Notice
of Settlement. In the Notice, the parties requested that this
court’s mandate be issued. We GRANT the parties’ request;
therefore, no further petitions for rehearing or rehearing en
banc may be filed in response to the amended petition.

    A certified copy of this order shall constitute the mandate
of this court.
