After reviewing all relevant matters of record in this case, including the Findings,
Conclusions, and Recommendation of the United States Magistrate Judge and any

Judge is of the opinion that the Findings and Conclusions of the Magistrate Judge are
correct, and they are accepted as the Findings and Conclusions of the Court.
Because the administrative forfeiture notice requirements were sufficient in this
case, Contreras’ claims of procedural and due process violations related to the forfeiture
of $40,609.00 in U.S. currency is DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE. Further, because
the Court lacks jurisdiction to consider any of Contreras’ other arguments and claims
seeking to set aside the forfeiture and return the $40,609.00 in U.S. currency,
Defendant United States of America’s Motion to Dismiss for Lack of Jurisdiction, Doc.
