WILLIAM B. SHUBB, District Judge.

It is hereby stipulated by and between the United States of America and potential claimant Brookelyn Nigro ("claimant"), by and through their respective counsel, as follows:

1. On or about August 2, 2017, claimant filed a claim in the administrative forfeiture proceeding with the U.S. Postal Inspection Service with respect to the Approximately $9,960.00 in U.S. Currency (hereafter "defendant currency"), which was seized on May 16, 2017.

2. The U.S. Postal Inspection Service has 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 claimant has filed a claim to the defendant currency as required by law in the administrative forfeiture proceeding.

3. Under 18 U.S.C. § 983(a)(3)(A), the United States is required to file a complaint for forfeiture against the defendant currency and/or to obtain an indictment alleging that the defendant currency is subject to forfeiture within ninety days after a claim has been filed in the administrative forfeiture proceeding, unless the court extends the deadline for good cause shown or by agreement of the parties. That deadline was October 31, 2017.

4. By Stipulation and Order filed October 31, 2017, the parties stipulated to extend to December 29, 2017, the time in which the United States is required to file a civil complaint for forfeiture against the defendant currency and/or to obtain an indictment alleging that the defendant currency is subject to forfeiture.

5. By Stipulation and Order filed December 29, 2017, the parties stipulated to extend to January 29, 2018, the time in which the United States is required to file a civil complaint for forfeiture against the defendant currency and/or to obtain an indictment alleging that the defendant currency is subject to forfeiture.

6. By Stipulation and Order filed January 22, 2018, the parties stipulated to extend to February 28, 2018, the time in which the United States is required to file a civil complaint for forfeiture against the defendant currency and/or to obtain an indictment alleging that the defendant currency is subject to forfeiture.

7. As provided in 18 U.S.C. § 983(a)(3)(A), the parties wish by agreement to further extend to March 30, 2018, the time in which the United States is required to file a civil complaint for forfeiture against the defendant currency and/or to obtain an indictment alleging that the defendant currency is subject to forfeiture.

8. Accordingly, the parties agree that the deadline by which the United States shall be required to file a complaint for forfeiture against the defendant currency and/or to obtain an indictment alleging that the defendant currency is subject to forfeiture shall be extended to March 30, 2018.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
