That deadline was October 6, 2016.

By Stipulation and Order filed October 13, 2016, the parties stipulated to extend to November 7, 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.
