Supplemental Rule C(4)
In all cases where publication is necessary under Admiralty Rule C(4), the time for filing a statement
of interest in or right against the property is hereby extended for a period of 21 days from the date
of the publication.
The published notice must contain the title and the number of the suit, the date of the arrest and
identity of the property arrested, the name of the marshal, and the name and address of the attorney
for the plaintiff. It must also state that claimants must file their statement of interest in or right against
the property pursuant to Rule C(6) with the clerk and serve them on the attorney for plaintiff within
21 days after the date of first publication, or within such further time as may be allowed by the court,
and must serve their answers within 21 days after the filing of their statements of interest or right;
that, if they do not, default may be entered and condemnation ordered; and that application for
intervention under FRCP 24, by persons claiming maritime liens or other interests may be untimely
if not filed within the time allowed for claims to possession.
