petition the United States District Court for the Middle District of Georgia for a hearing
to adjudicate the validity of his or her alleged interest in the property pursuant to 21

4. 	On September 5, 2025, Pro Se Third-Party Petitioner, Coral Crawford

approximately fifteen (15) rounds of ammunition.

Agreement and Release of Claims entered into between the Government and Petitioner
to compromise and settle any interest in the stolen Girsan firearm and a Motion for Entry
of Consent Order. On September 18, 2025, the Court entered a Consent Order, in which
