That deadline was December 21, 2016.

By Stipulation and Order filed January 6, 2017, the parties stipulated to extend to January 20, 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.
