ROBERT J. CONRAD, JR., District Judge.
In the Superseding Bill of Indictment in this case, the United States sought forfeiture of property of the defendant as property that was used or intended to be used to facilitate the crime(s) charged, which would be subject to forfeiture under 18 U.S.C. § 924(d), 21 U.S.C. § 853, and 28 U.S.C. § 2461(c). (Doc. No. 139 at 2-3).
Defendant was convicted at trial by the jury on Counts One and Two in the Superseding Bill of Indictment and was adjudged guilty of the offenses charged in those counts. (Doc. No. 211: Verdict). The jury also rendered a verdict finding certain proceeds and property as having been involved in or used in Defendant's offenses. (Doc. No. 212: Forfeiture Verdict).
1. Based upon jury's verdicts, the United States is authorized to seize the following property belonging to Defendant, and it is hereby forfeited to the United States for disposition according to law, provided, however, that such forfeiture is subject to any and all third party claims and interests, pending final adjudication herein:
2. Pursuant to 21 U.S.C. § 853(n)(1), the government shall publish notice of this order; notice of its intent to dispose of the property in such manner as the Attorney General may direct; and notice that any person, other than the defendant, having or claiming a legal interest in any of the above-listed forfeited property must file a petition with the Court within thirty days of the final publication of notice or of receipt of actual notice, whichever is earlier. This notice shall state that the petition shall be for a hearing to adjudicate the validity of the petitioner's alleged interest in the property, shall be signed by the petitioner under penalty of perjury, and shall set forth the nature and extent of the petitioner's right, title or interest in each of the forfeited properties and any additional facts supporting the petitioner's claim and the relief sought. The United States may also, to the extent practicable, provide direct written notice to any person known to have alleged an interest in property that is the subject of this Order of Forfeiture, as a substitute for published notice as to those persons so notified.
3. Upon adjudication of all third-party interests, this Court will enter a Final Order of Forfeiture pursuant to 21 U.S.C. § 853(n).
4. If no third party files a timely claim, this Order of forfeiture shall become Final and shall be made part of the sentence and included in the judgment, as provided by Fed. R. Crim. P. 32.2(b)(4) and 32.2(c)(2).
