Attachment 1
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA
COURT CASE NUMBER: 1:24-CR-00198-JLT-SKO; NOTICE OF FORFEITURE
Notice is hereby given that on June 12, 2025, in the case of U.S. v. Gurjeet Bath,
Court Case Number 1:24-CR-00198-JLT-SKO, the United States District Court for the
Eastern District of California entered an Order condemning and forfeiting the following
property to the United States of America:
Real property located at 2745 S Peach, Fresno, CA 93725, Fresno County, APN:
316-040-34 (24-FBI-008336), and
Real property located 18670 S Elm, Laton, CA 93656, Fresno County, APNs:
055-310-15 and 055-021-18 (24-FBI-008347).
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 (June 15, 2025) 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, 2500 Tulare Street, First Floor, Fresno, CA 93721, and a
copy served upon Assistant United States Attorney Jeffrey Spivak, 2500 Tulare Street,
4401 Federal Building, Fresno, CA 93721. 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
Case 1:24-cr-00198-JLT-SKO Document 25 Filed 07/15/25 Page 4 of 5
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

the link to file a petition for remission online. If you cannot find the desired assets online,
you must file your petition for remission in writing by sending it to Assistant United States
Attorney Jeffrey Spivak, 2500 Tulare Street, 4401 Federal Building, Fresno, CA 93721.
This website provides answers to frequently asked questions (FAQs) about filing a petition
