UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

Notice is hereby given that on May 09, 2022, in the case of U.S. v. DARRELL

The United States hereby gives notice of its intent to dispose of the forfeited 
property in such manner as the United States Attorney General may direct.  Any person, 
other than the defendant(s) in this case, claiming interest in the forfeited property must file 
an ancillary petition within 60 days of the first date of publication (April 08, 2024) of this 
Notice on this official government internet web site, pursuant to Rule 32.2 of the Federal 
Rules of Criminal Procedure and 21 U.S.C. § 853(n)(1).  The ancillary petition must be

the petitioner under penalty of perjury and shall set forth the nature and extent of the

petitioner's acquisition of the right, title and interest in the forfeited property and any 
additional facts supporting the petitioner's claim and the relief sought, pursuant to 21

Following the Court’s disposition of all ancillary petitions filed, or if no such petitions

the forfeiture are found at 28 C.F.R. Section 9.5(a).  The criteria for mitigation of the 
forfeiture are found at 28 C.F.R. Section 9.5(b).  The petition for remission need not be
