It is hereby stipulated by and between the United States of America and claimants Scott T. J.

19 Dorner and Martine A. Dijkstra (“claimants”), by and through their respective counsel, as follows:

On or about December 20, 2012, claimants Scott T. J. Dorner and Martine A. Dijkstra

21 filed claims in the administrative forfeiture proceeding with the Federal Bureau of Investigation with
22 respect to the Approximately $16,280.00 in U.S. Currency (hereafter “defendant currency”), which was

The Federal Bureau of Investigation has sent the written notice of intent to forfeit

25 required by 18 U.S.C. § 983(a)(1)(A) to all known interested parties. The time has expired for any
26 person to file a claim to the defendant currency under 18 U.S.C. § 983(a)(2)(A)-(E), and no person other
27 than claimants has filed a claim to the defendant currency as required by law in the administrative
