Defendant.

The United States filed this action eight months ago, yet there is still no complaint

for forfeiture and no indictment alleging that the defendant currency is subject to forfeiture. The

19

court twice granted the United States’ request for more time to file these documents. ECF Nos. 1,

21

United States has still taken no action.

22

Accordingly, the court hereby ORDERS the United States to show cause within

23

fourteen days why this case should not be dismissed.

24

IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED: August 2, 2017.
