IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and between plaintiff United States of America and
21
prospective claimants, Travis Ferry and Rachel Fowler, through undersigned counsel, that this action be
22
stayed pursuant to Title 21, United States Code, Section 881(i) (incorporating the provisions of Title 18,
23
United States Code, Section 981(g)). The parties contend that Travis Fowler is the subject of a related
24
criminal investigation being conducted by the Drug Enforcement Administration. As a result of the case
25
related to that investigation, Travis Ferry has pled guilty and is currently awaiting sentencing on drug
26
charges in the Central District of Illinois. The parties contend that the conduct underlying the pending
27
criminal charges in Illinois support, in part, the allegations set forth in the forfeiture complaint in this
28
district. Consequently, the parties agree that a further stay in the forfeiture proceeding is appropriate in
1
order to preserve the prospective claimants’ rights against self-incrimination in the related criminal
2
matter. The parties thus request that matter be stayed pending resolution of the related criminal
3
investigation and prosecution. Accordingly, the parties request that the case management conference
4
currently scheduled for August 23, 2013, be vacated and that the matter be set for further status in
5
approximately 90 days.
