P. 32.2(b)(1) and (2); Title 18, United States Code, Section 924(d)(1) and Title 28, United States Code, Section 2461(c), based upon the plea of guilty by defendant NOLBERTO GONZALEZ to a criminal offense, forfeiting specific property alleged in the Criminal Indictment and agreed to in the Plea Memorandum and shown by the United States to have the requisite nexus to the offense to which defendant NOLBERTO GONZALEZ pled guilty. Criminal Indictment, ECF No. 1; Plea Memorandum, ECF No. 22; Preliminary Order of Forfeiture, ECF No. 25.

This Court finds the United States of America published the notice of the forfeiture in accordance with the law via the official government internet forfeiture site, www.forfeiture.gov, consecutively from July 1, 2011, through July 30, 2011, notifying all third parties of their right to petition the Court.

Based upon the statements contained in that Declaration, this Court finds that the United States has exercised due diligence in attempting to locate Claudia Beltran for purposes of service under 21 U.S.C. § 853(n).

This Court finds no petition was filed herein by or on behalf of any person or entity and the time for filing such petitions and claims has expired.
