It is hereby stipulated by and between the United States of America and claimants Gregorio Ramirez Castillo and Jennifer Jannette Castillo-Ramirez ("claimants"), by and through their respective counsel, as follows:

1. On or about July 24, 2017, claimants filed claims in the administrative forfeiture proceedings with the Drug Enforcement Administration with respect to the $42,906.72 seized from Wells Fargo Bank Account Number 2249869062 (hereafter "defendant currency"), which was seized on May 8, 2017.

2. The Drug Enforcement Administration 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 the claimants have filed a claim to the defendant currency as required by law in the administrative forfeiture proceeding.

3. 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 proceedings, unless the court extends the deadline for good cause shown or by agreement of the parties. That deadline was October 20, 2017.

4. By Stipulation and Order filed October 23, 2017, the parties stipulated to extend to December 19, 2017, the time in which the United States is required to file a civil complaint for forfeiture against the defendant funds and/or to obtain an indictment alleging that the defendant funds are subject to forfeiture.

6. By Stipulation and Order filed January 19, 2018, the parties stipulated to extend to February 19, 2017, the time in which the United States is required to file a civil complaint for forfeiture against the defendant funds and/or to obtain an indictment alleging that the defendant funds are subject to forfeiture.

7. By Stipulation and Order filed February 15, 2018, the parties stipulated to extend to May 21, 2018, the time in which the United States is required to file a civil complaint for forfeiture against the defendant funds and/or to obtain an indictment alleging that the defendant funds are subject to forfeiture.

8. As provided in 18 U.S.C. § 983(a)(3)(A), the parties wish by agreement to further extend to August 20, 2018, 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.

9. 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 August 20, 2018.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
