WHEREAS, a Verified Complaint for Forfeiture In Rem has been filed on November 9, 2020, in
the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California, alleging that the Approximately
$27,231.00 in U.S. Currency (“defendant currency”) is subject to forfeiture to the United States pursuant
to 21 U.S.C. § 881(a)(6) for one or more violations of 21 U.S.C. §§ 841 et seq.;
And, the Court being satisfied that, based on the Verified Complaint for Forfeiture In Rem and the
affidavit of Federal Bureau of Investigation Special Agent Laura E. Giouzelis, there is probable cause to
believe that the defendant currency so described constitutes property that is subject to forfeiture for such
violation(s), and that grounds for the issuance of a Warrant for Arrest of Articles In Rem exist, pursuant
to Rule G(3)(b)(i) of the Supplemental Rules for Admiralty or Maritime Claims and Asset Forfeiture
Actions;
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Clerk for the United States District Court, Eastern District
