MOTION for Forfeiture of Property for Final Order of Forfeiture by USA as to Stephawn Malik Watson. (Attachments: # (1) Exhibit Declaration of Publication, # (2) Text of Proposed Order for Final Order of Forfeiture)(McGuinn, Colleen)

The United States filed a motion seeking a final order of forfeiture against property linked to Stephawn Malik Watson. The motion includes a declaration of publication and a proposed order for the court to finalize the forfeiture. The government aims to transfer ownership of the property from Watson to the United States, concluding the forfeiture process.

The case remains active, but no judge has been assigned and the court is unspecified. The motion signals the government’s intent to complete forfeiture proceedings, which typically follow a criminal or civil action involving alleged illegal assets. The next step will depend on the court’s review and approval of the proposed order.

The government’s filings suggest it has met procedural requirements, including public notice, to proceed with finalizing the forfeiture. The case’s docket lacks detailed background or related filings, so the underlying conduct prompting forfeiture is unclear.

The court’s decision will determine whether the property is officially seized by the government or if Watson can contest the motion further.
