U.S. DISTRICT COURT
DISTRICT OF NEW ERSEY
MEMORANDUM
To: Chief Judge Anne E. Tho
From: Ron Nau, Chief Deputy
Subject: Revision of Collateral Forfeiture Schedule
Date: August 28, 1996
The Department of the Interior, National Park Service, requests that the Court revise its collateral
forfeiture schedules governing those petty offenses applicable within their jurisdiction.
Apparently, numerous regulations have been revised and enacted since this Court last adopted a
collateral schedule on August 30, 1983. In 1994 the Wildlife Division of the Department of the
Interior made a similar request which former Chief Judge Gerry approved. At this belated date,
the Park Service makes a similar request.
Attached is a proposed order and the revised forfeiture schedule. A copy of Chief Judge Gerry's
order relating to the Wildlife forfeitures schedules is also attached.
Attach.
