AND WHEREAS, the Indictment contained a Forfeiture Notice, pursuant to which the United States seeks forfeiture under 18 U.S.C. § 2253, of specific property which was used, or intended to be used to commit, or to promote the commission of the aforesaid violation;

AND WHEREAS, the Court has determined, based on the evidence already in the record, and the evidence set forth in the Defendant's Plea Agreement: (1) that Defendant has an ownership interest in the property listed below; (2) that the following property is subject to forfeiture pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 2253; and (3) that the United States has established the requisite nexus between the aforesaid offense and the following property:

(hereinafter collectively referred to as the "subject property").

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND DECREED THAT:

1. Upon entry of this Order, the Secretary of the Treasury or his designee is authorized to seize the subject property, and to conduct proper discovery in identifying, locating or disposing of the subject property in accordance with FED.

2. The United States shall publish notice of the Order and its intent to dispose of the subject property in such a manner as the Secretary of the Treasury or his designee may direct. The United States may also, to the extent practicable, provide written notice to any person known to have an alleged interest in the subject property.

3. Any person, other than the above-named defendant, asserting a legal interest in the subject property must, within thirty (30) days after receipt of notice, or no later than sixty (60) days from the first day of publication on the official internet government forfeiture site, www.forfeiture.gov, whichever is earlier, petition the Court for a hearing without a jury to adjudicate the validity of his alleged interest in the subject property, and for an amendment of the Order of Forfeiture, pursuant to 21 U.S.C. § 853(n), as incorporated by 18 U.S.C. § 2253.

4. Pursuant to FED. R. CRIM.

6. After the disposition of any motion filed under FED. R. CRIM. P. 32.2(c)(1)(A) and before a hearing on the petition, discovery may be conducted in accordance with the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure upon a showing that such discovery is necessary or desirable to resolve factual issues.
