The United States of America instituted this miscellaneous case on May 12, 2017, seeking to
extend the deadline to file a complaint for forfeiture and/or obtain an indictment alleging forfeiture
regarding approximately 30 firearms. (ECF No. 1). The Court granted the extension request and multiple
further extensions. (See e.g., ECF Nos. 4, 16, 35, 41); 18 U.S.C.A. § 983(a)(3)(A) (“Not later than 90

19
days after a claim has been filed, the Government shall file a complaint for forfeiture in the manner set
20
21

forth in the Supplemental Rules for Certain Admiralty and Maritime Claims or return the property
pending the filing of a complaint, except that a court in the district in which the complaint will be filed

22

may extend the period for filing a complaint for good cause shown or upon agreement of the parties.”).

Now before the Court is the United States’s “notice of election,” which states as follows:

24

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the United States elected to include 28 of the
Approximately 30 Firearms listed in Exhibit A in the parallel criminal case United States
v. Bryan Bartucci, 1:18-CR-00270-ADA-BAM, and the related criminal case United
States v. Bryan Bartucci, 1:19-CR-00244-ADA-BAM. The United States elected not to
pursue forfeiture on two of the firearms. Accordingly, this miscellaneous case may be
closed.
