ORDER

THIS MATTER is before the Court on the Verified Claim for Seized
Funds filed by Harvey Franklin Hunt [Doc. 4] and the Court’s Show Cause
Order [Doc. 7].
On October 28, 2013, the Court entered a Show Cause Order
directing the Claimant Harvey Franklin Hunt to show cause in writing within
fourteen (14) why his claim should not be dismissed for failure to file a
timely answer. The Claimant was specifically warned that “failure to show
good cause within the time provided may result in the dismissal of his
claim.” [Doc. 7 at 1-2]. The deadline for responding has passed, and the
Claimant has failed to respond to the Court’s Show Cause Order.
Accordingly, the Court will dismiss the Claimant’s Claim.

IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED that Claimant Harvey Franklin
Hunt’s Claim [Doc. 4] is hereby DISMISSED for failure to file a timely
answer.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
