The United States submits the following Request to Extend the Deadline to file a Joint Status

24 Report from January 25, 2018 to March 29, 2018.

Introduction
On July 18, 2017, the United States filed a civil forfeiture complaint in rem against the above-

27 captioned real property (“defendant property”), based on its involvement in a short sale fraud scheme
28 violations. All known potential claimants to the defendant property were served in a manner consistent

United States’ Request to Extend the Deadline
to Submit a Joint Status Report

1 with Dusenbery v. United States, 534 U.S. 161, 168 (2002) and the applicable statutory authority.
2 Additionally, public notice on the official internet government forfeiture site, www.forfeiture.gov, began
3 on August 5, 2017, and ran for thirty consecutive days, as required by Rule G(4)(a)(iv)(C) of
4 Supplemental Rules for Admiralty or Maritime Claims and Asset Forfeiture Actions. A Declaration of
5 Publication was filed on September 5, 2017.

Good Cause
The United States has provided notice to all potential claimants pursuant to law. Specifically,

8 the United States served a copy of the complaint documents to potential claimants Sharon Pugh and
9 George Goldie via certified and first class mail and Forum Capital Investors 2015, LLC, c/o Robert Skiff
10 via certified and first class mail as well as personal service, but they have not filed a claim. At this
11 point, the time to file a claim and enter the case has expired.
12

Accordingly, the United States requested a Clerk’s Default against Sharon Pugh, George Goldie

13 and Forum Capital Investors 2015, LLC, c/o Robert Skiff and the Court entered a Clerk’s Certificate of
14 Entry of Defaults on October 31, 2017 (Pugh and Goldie) and December 11, 2017 (Forum). The United
15 States will file a motion for default judgment and final judgment of forfeiture with the Court and such
16 filings, if/when granted, would terminate the case. No party has entered this case claiming an interest in
17 the defendant property.
18

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

19 March 29, 2018 (or to another date the Court deems appropriate).
20

Thus, there is good cause to extend the deadline to file a joint status report in this case from

21 January 25, 2018 to March 29, 2018, or to a date the Court deems appropriate.
