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

1.

2. The Federal Bureau of Investigation 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.

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 April 1, 2016.

4. By Stipulation and Order filed March 31, 2016, the parties stipulated to extend to May 16, 2016, 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. 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 July 15, 2016.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
