Introduction
On December 3, 2014, the United States filed a civil forfeiture complaint against the above-

22 captioned currency (“defendant currency”) based on its alleged involvement in federal drug law
23 violations. All known potential claimants to the defendant property were served in a manner consistent
24 with Dusenbery v. United States, 534 U.S. 161, 168 (2002) and the applicable statutory authority.
25 Additionally, public notice on the official internet government forfeiture site, www.forfeiture.gov,
26 began on December 19, 2014 and ran for thirty consecutive days, as required by Rule G(4)(a)(iv)(C) of
27 Supplemental Rules for Admiralty or Maritime Claims and Asset Forfeiture Actions.
28 To date, no party has filed a claim or answer in this case.
