The Court finds that the only persons or entities, other than the defendant, 
known to have a potential interest in the above-referenced assets are Victor 
Cisternino, Mary Jo Cisternino, Denise Pieck, and Keith Pieck. 
The Court further finds that Victor Cisternino, Mary Jo Cisternino, Denise Pieck, 
and Keith Pieck were provided with proper notice of these proceedings, and despite 
receiving proper notice of these proceedings, no timely claims were filed by them as 
to the forfeiture of the above-referenced assets. 
The Court further finds that in accordance with 21 U.S.C. § 853(n) and Rule 
32.2(b)(6)(C), the United States published notices of the forfeiture and of its intent to 
dispose of the assets on the official government website, www.forfeiture.gov, from 
November 29, 2022, through December 28, 2022.  Doc. 45.  The publication gave 
notice to all third parties with a legal interest in the assets to file with the Office of the

Suite 1200, Orlando, Florida 32801-0120, a petition to adjudicate their interests within 
60 days of the first date of publication.  No third party has filed a petition or claimed 
an interest in the assets, and the time for filing such petition has expired.  
Accordingly, it is hereby:  
ORDERED and ADJUDGED that for good cause shown, the United States’ 
motion (Doc. 49) is GRANTED. 
It is FURTHER ORDERED that pursuant to 21 U.S.C. § 853(n)(7) and Federal
