IRA CHRISTOPHER JACKSON,
Claimant,
WELLS FARGO DEALER SERVICES,
Claimant.
ORDER DENYING MOTION TO SUPPRESS
______________________________________________________________________________
Before the Court is Ira Jackson’s Motion to Suppress [Doc. 13]. Mr. Jackson failed
to file an answer as required by Supplement for Asset Forfeiture Actions Rule G(5)(B),
and therefore, Plaintiff moved to strike Mr. Jackson’s claim under Rule G(8)(C). [Doc. 31].
In light of this Court granting Plaintiff’s Motion to Strike [Doc. 33], Mr. Jackson lacks
standing to proceed in this case. See United States v. $12,126.00 in U.S. Currency, 337 F.
App’x 818 (11th Cir. 2009). Thus, his Motion to Suppress [Doc. 13] is DENIED as moot.

SO ORDERED, this 22nd day of June, 2018.
