DANA L. CHRISTENSEN, Chief District Judge.
Before the Court is the United States' Unopposed Motion for Preliminary Order of Forfeiture. (Doc. 62.) The Court finds:
THAT the United States and the Defendant, Matthew Curtis Olson, entered into a plea agreement that provides a factual basis and cause to issue a forfeiture order under 21 U.S.C. § 853(a)(1) and (2);
THAT prior to the disposition of the assets, the United States Marshal's Service and/or the Drug Enforcement Administration is required to seize the forfeited property; and
THAT 21 U.S.C. § 853(n)(1) requires that third parties who may have an interest in the property receive notice, via publication, or to the extent practical, direct written notice of the forfeiture and the United States' intent to dispose of the property.
Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED:
THAT Defendant Matthew Curtis Olson's interest in any property constituting and derived from any proceeds obtained, directly and indirectly, as a result of the violation in Count II of the Indictment, and any property used and intended to be used, in any manner and part, to commit, and facilitate the commission of, such violation, is forfeited to the United States in accordance with 21 U.S.C. § 853(a)(1) and (2). That property consists specifically of the following items:
• $4,247 United States currency;
THAT the United States Department Marshal's Service and/or the Drug Enforcement Administration is directed to seize the property subject to forfeiture and further to make a return as provided by law;
THAT the United States will provide written notice to all third parties asserting a legal interest in any of the above-described property and will post on an official government internet site (www.forfeiture.gov) for at least 30 consecutive days as required by Rule G(4)(a)(iv)(C) of the Supplemental Rules for Admiralty or Maritime Claims and Asset Forfeiture Actions, notice of the Court's Preliminary Order and the United States' intent to dispose of the property in such manner as the Attorney General of the United States may direct, pursuant to 21 U.S.C. § 853(n)(1), and to make its return to this Court that such action has been completed; and
THAT upon adjudication of all third-party interests, if any, the Court will enter a Final Order of Forfeiture pursuant to 21 U.S.C. § 853(n)(7) and Fed. R. Crim. P. 32.2, in which all interests will be addressed.
