NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT:

The following property is forfeited to the United States:

The personal money judgment in forfeiture shall be included in the sentence of the defendant, and the United States Department of Justice may take steps to collect the judgment from any property, real or personal, of the defendant, in accordance with the substitute asset provisions of 21 U.S.C. § 853(p).

The United States Marshal and/or other property custodian for the investigative agency is authorized to take possession and maintain custody of the above-described tangible property.

Any person, other than the defendant, asserting any legal interest in the property may, within thirty days of the publication of notice or the receipt of notice, whichever is earlier, petition the court for a hearing to adjudicate the validity of the alleged interest.

Pursuant to Fed. R. Crim. P. 32.2(b)(3), upon entry of this Order of Forfeiture, the United States Attorney's Office is authorized to conduct any discovery needed to identify, locate or dispose of the property, including depositions, interrogatories, requests for production of documents and to issue subpoenas, pursuant to Fed.

Following the Court's disposition of all timely petitions filed, a final order of forfeiture shall be entered, as provided by Fed. R. Crim. P. 32.2(c)(2). If no third party files a timely petition, this order shall become the final order and judgment of forfeiture, as provided by Fed. R. Crim.

P. 32.2(b)(4)(A), the defendant consents that this order shall be final as to defendant upon filing.

SO AGREED.
