IN THE MATTER OF:

     No.  CV-2001-0637

    NOTICE OF PENDING FORFEITURE




       TO: ALL PERSON(S) CLAIMING TO BE AN INTEREST HOLDER IN THE
PROPERTY DESCRIBED ABOVE:
       YOU ARE HEREBY GIVEN NOTICE pursuant to A.R.S. ßß 13-4306(C), 13-4307 and
13-4311 that an action as described in the above heading is pending in which the State of
Arizona claims that the property described as $1,637.00 IN U.S. CURRENCY,  is forfeited.  The
property has been seized for forfeiture by the State of Arizona pursuant to A.R.S. ßß 13-2314,
13-3413 and 13-4301, et seq.  The seizure took place in Mohave County, Arizona.  Any person
claiming an interest in any of the subject property must file a verified claim satisfying the
requirements of A.R.S. ß 13-4311(E) within thirty (30) days of service of this Notice.  This claim
is separate from and in addition to an Answer to a Complaint.
       Copies of the claim must be mailed to the seizing agency, MOHAVE COUNTY
SHERIFF'S OFFICE, and to the attorney for the State, Deputy Mohave County Attorney,
THOMAS D. TAYLOR, at the address at the top of this Notice.
       A.R.S. ß 13-4311(E) provides:
       E. The claim shall be signed by the claimant under penalty of perjury and shall set forth
all of the following:
       1. The name of the claimant.
       2. The address at which he will accept further mailings from the court or attorney for the
State.
       3. The nature and extent of the claimant's interest in the property. 
       4. The time, transferor and circumstances of the claimant's acquisition of the interest in
the property.
       5. The specific provisions of this chapter relied on in asserting that it is not subject to
forfeiture.
       6. All facts supporting each such assertion.
       7. Any additional facts supporting the claimant's claim.
       8. The precise relief sought.
       Copies of the claim shall be mailed to the seizing agency and to the attorney for the State. 
No extensions of time for the filing of a claim may be granted.
       If no such claim is timely made, forfeiture of all interest in the defendant's property of any
person who does not so claim will result.  By law, no extension of time for the filing of the claim
may be granted.
       The property was seized by the MOHAVE COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE on the 1st day
of June, 2001.  If you have not previously received notice of its seizure for forfeiture, this is
notice pursuant to A.R.S. ß 13-4306(C).
       In some circumstances, a person claiming a lawful interest may file an application under
A.R.S. ß 13-4310(B) to obtain a hearing on the provisional return of the property pending the
outcome of a judicial proceeding on its forfeiture.  If an application for such hearing is filed, it,
too, must comply with the requirements of A.R.S. ß 13-4311(E).
