STIPULATION AND ORDER EXTENDING TIME FOR FILING A COMPLAINT FOR FORFEITURE AND/OR TO OBTAIN AN INDICTMENT ALLEGING FORFEITURE

MORRISON C. ENGLAND, JR., District Judge.

It is hereby stipulated by and between the United States of America and potential claimant Xiu Qin Lin ("Lin"), by and through their respective counsel, as follows:

1. On or about July 8, 2018, claimant Lin filed a claim in the administrative forfeiture proceedings with the U.S. Customs and Border Protection ("CBP") with respect to the defendant assets listed above ("defendant assets"), which were seized on April 3, 2018.

2. The CBP 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 claimant has filed a claim to the defendant assets 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 assets and/or to obtain an indictment alleging that the defendant assets are 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 1, 2018.

4. By Stipulation and Order filed October 2, 2018, the parties stipulated to extend to January 2, 2019, 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.

5. By Stipulation and Order filed January 3, 2019, the parties stipulated to extend to March 1, 2019, 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.

6. As provided in 18 U.S.C. § 983(a)(3)(A), the parties wish by agreement to further extend to May 30, 2019, the time in which the United States is required to file a civil complaint for forfeiture against the defendant assets and/or to obtain an indictment alleging that the defendant assets are 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 assets and/or to obtain an indictment alleging that the defendant assets are subject to forfeiture shall be extended to May 30, 2019.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
