ORDER

JENNIFER A. DORSEY, District Judge.

THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA'S MOTION TO EXTEND THE TIME FOR THE UNITED STATES TO RESPOND TO THE VERIFIED PETITION OF CALIFORNIA BANK & TRUST (ECF NO. 55) AND ORDER (Third Request)

The United States of America respectfully moves this Court for an Order extending the time for the United States to respond to the Verified Petition of California Bank & Trust Pursuant to Title 21, United States Code, Section 853(n) (ECF No. 55). The deadline for responding to the Petition is August 11, 2015. The United States requests an extension of time to and including August 28, 2015.

The grounds for extending the time are as follows.

Shlomo S. Sherman, counsel for California Bank & Trust, was contacted on August 10, 2015, but he was out of the office and cannot agree or disagree with this extension until August 11, 2015.

The AUSA assigned to file the response to the Petition for this case has a large case load, has been extremely busy addressing forfeiture within a short time frame in other cases, and was unable to complete the response due to family needs.

This Motion is not submitted solely for the purpose of delay or for any other improper purpose.

This Court should grant an extension of time to, and including, August 28, 2015, for the United States to respond to the Verified Petition of California Bank & Trust pursuant to Title 21, United States Code, Section 853(n) (ECF No. 55).

IT IS SO ORDERED.
