Attachment 1
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK
COURT CASE NUMBER: S2 CR. 251 (LJL); NOTICE OF FORFEITURE
Notice is hereby given that on March 24, 2023, in the case of U.S. v. Rafael 
Martinez, Court Case Number S2 CR. 251 (LJL), the United States District Court for the 
Southern District of New York entered an Order condemning and forfeiting the following 
property to the United States of America:
A 2017 Bentley Model Continental GT, with VIN No. SCBFT7ZA9HC061995 
(23-IRS-000784)
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 (March 15, 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 
filed with the Clerk of the Court, United States District Court, 500 Pearl Street, Room 120, 
New York, NY  10007, and a copy served upon Assistant United States Attorney Tara 
LaMorte, One St. Andrew's Plaza, New York, NY  10007.  The ancillary petition shall be 
signed by the petitioner under penalty of perjury and shall set forth the nature and extent 
of the petitioner's right, title or interest in the forfeited property, the time and circumstances 
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 
U.S.C. § 853(n).
Following the Court’s disposition of all ancillary petitions filed, or if no such petitions 
are filed, following the expiration of the period specified above for the filing of such 
ancillary petitions, the United States shall have clear title to the property and may warrant 
good title to any subsequent purchaser or transferee.
The government may also consider granting petitions for remission or mitigation, 
which pardon all or part of the property from the forfeiture.  A petition must include a 
description of your interest in the property supported by documentation; include any facts 
you believe justify the return of the property; and be signed under oath, subject to the 
penalty of perjury, or meet the requirements of an unsworn statement under penalty of 
perjury.  See 28 U.S.C. Section 1746.  For the regulations pertaining to remission or 
mitigation of the forfeiture, see 28 C.F.R. Sections 9.1 - 9.9.  The criteria for remission of 
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 
made in any particular form and may be filed online or in writing.  You should file a petition 
for remission not later than 11:59 PM EST 30 days after the date of final publication of this 
notice.  See 28 C.F.R. Section 9.3(a).  The https://www.forfeiture.gov/FilingPetition.htm
