ORDER

On or about August 10, 2015, Ruth Bambas filed a claim in the administrative forfeiture proceedings with the Federal Bureau of Investigation with respect to the Approximately $12,112.00 in U.S. Currency, which was seized on April 22, 2015.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation sent the written notice of intent to forfeit required by 18 U.S.C. § 983(a)(1)(A) to all known interested parties. The time has expired for any person to file a claim to the defendant currency under 18 U.S.C. § 983(a)(2)(A)-(E), and no person other than Ms. Bambas has filed a claim to the defendant currency as provided by law.

Under 18 U.S.C. § 983(a)(3)(A), the United States is required to file a complaint for forfeiture against the defendant currency or to obtain an indictment alleging that the defendant currency is subject to forfeiture within ninety days after a claim is filed in the administrative forfeiture proceedings. The court "may extend the period for filing a complaint for good cause shown or upon agreement of the parties." Id. (emphasis added). That deadline was November 6, 2015. The court has extended the deadline three times before today. ECF Nos. 2, 4, 7. The extended deadline is now set to expire on May 4, 2016, and the parties request a fourth extension of time, until June 3, 2016, but do not explain why or how many additional extensions of time are anticipated.

The request is GRANTED. The court does not expect to grant additional extensions of time absent a showing of good cause.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
