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.

That deadline was March 11, 2019.

4. By Stipulation and Order filed March 6, 2019, the parties stipulated to extend to May 10, 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.

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 September 9, 2019.
