Request and Proposed Order to Extend the
Deadline to File a Joint Status Report

1 law violations. All known potential claimants to the defendant currency were served in a manner
2 consistent with Dusenbery v. United States, 534 U.S. 161, 168 (2002) and the applicable statutory
3 authority. Additionally, public notice on the official internet government forfeiture site,
4 www.forfeiture.gov, began on September 27, 2014, and ran for thirty consecutive days, as required by
5 Rule G(4)(a)(iv)(C) of Supplemental Rules for Admiralty or Maritime Claims and Asset Forfeiture
6 Actions. A Declaration of Publication was filed on October 28, 2014.

Good Cause

8

The United States has provided notice to all potential claimants pursuant to law. Potential

9 claimants Eric Portela, Keith Toman or Ryan Olsen have not filed a claim and the time to file a claim
10 has expired.
11

The United States intends to request a Clerk’s Default against Eric Portela, Keith Toman and

12 Ryan Olsen and file a motion for default judgment and final judgment of forfeiture. Such filings,
13 if/when granted, would terminate the case.
14

No other party has entered this case.

15

For these reasons, the United States seeks to continue the deadline to file a Joint Status Report

16 to February 23, 2015 (or to another date the Court deems appropriate).
