Case: 1:23-cr-00410 Document #: 77 Filed: 07/25/25 Page 11 of 12 PageID #:319
Section 853(p), as incorporated by Title 28, United States Code, Section 2641(c), the
United States shall be authorized to forfeit substitute assets of the defendant. Should
assets become available to satisfy the forfeiture judgment in the future, the United
States shall file a motion requesting permission to seize such assets and publish
notice of the intent of the United States to forfeit them in satisfaction of the forfeiture
money judgment.
(g) Pursuant to Title 21, United States Code, Section 853, as incorporated
by Title 28, United States Code, Section 2461(c), and Subdivision (b)(3) of Rule 32.2
of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, upon entry of this Preliminary Order of
Forfeiture, this Court hereby authorizes the Attorney General or her designated
representatives to conduct discovery to identify or locate property subject to
forfeiture, including substitute assets, and to seize property ordered forfeited upon
such terms and conditions as set forth by this Court.
(h) The United States requests that the terms and conditions of this
preliminary order of forfeiture be made part of the sentence imposed against the
defendant and recited in any judgment and commitment order entered in the case.
In accordance with Rule 32.2(b)(4)(A), at sentencing-or at any time before sentencing
if the defendant consents-the preliminary order of forfeiture, including the money
judgment, will become final as to the defendant. Pursuant to Rule 32.2(c), if a third
party files a petition asserting an interest in the property to be forfeited, this Court
must hold a hearing to determine his rights. Pursuant to Title 21, United States
Code, Section 853(n)(2), as incorporated by Title 28, United States Code,

Section 2461(c), third parties have thirty days from the publication of notice or receipt
of notice, whichever is earlier, to file a petition. The preliminary order of forfeiture
will remain preliminary as to third parties until such an ancillary proceeding, if
required, can be conducted under Rule 32.2(c). After disposition of all third-party
interests, this Court shall, upon the government’s motion if appropriate, enter a final
order of forfeiture of the property that is the subject of this preliminary order of
forfeiture, thereby vesting clear title in the United States of America.
(i) Pursuant to Title 21, United States Code, Section 853(g), as
incorporated by Title 28, United States Code, Section 2461(c), and Fed. R. Crim. P.
32.2, the foregoing property shall upon entry of this preliminary order of forfeiture be
seized by the United States Department of Homeland Security, Immigration and
Customs Enforcement, Homeland Security Investigations, or any other authorized
agency.
(j) This Court shall retain jurisdiction to take such additional action and
enter such further orders as may be necessary to implement and enforce this
preliminary forfeiture order.
