The court asks that Mr. King submit a completed declaration from his client no later than April 13, 2018.

January 16, 2018 Filing 21 Letter from Edric M. Ching, Assistant U.S. Attorney re: Court's Minute Order 20 . (cib, )
January 16, 2018 Filing 20 EO: The court schedules a telephone conference for Wednesday, January 17, 2018, at 2:15 p.m., to discuss the inventory being prepared by Mr. Vento. Mr. Vento has informed the Clerk of Court that he has no expertise in stamps and will not inventory the stamps. The status of the stamps will therefore be discussed during the conference. In addition, although Mr. Johnson's letter to the court (dated December 21, 2017) says that Mr. Vento will ''package and label the coins for identification,'' Mr. Vento says that, in estimating the time to prepare the inventory at 3-5 days, he was not anticipating putting each coin into a separate package. Instead, he proposes to simply list coins that have been aggregated in small plastic bags without separately labeling each coin. He says that the aggregate value of a small ziploc bag of coins may be only a few dollars. Are the parties anticipating that there will be disputes about any coin worth only a few dollars? If not, then can the parties agree on some minimum estimated value that would require Mr. Vento to separately bag a particular coin?

December 18, 2017 Opinion or Order Filing 8 ORDER Regarding New Civil Interpleader Action; Exhibits 1-8. "An interpleader complaint such as the one filed in this civil case is simply an action in which the holder of property(in this case, the United States) says that the holder has itself no claim to the property but seeks a court order resolving competing claims to the property. A court order would protect the holder of the property from mistakenly turning property overto the wrong party or from exposing itself to a lawsuit by the rightful owner for having turned over property to someone else. To avoid making the parties have to repeat actions taken in the ancillary proceedings in the criminal case, this court attaches to this order certain documents from that case. Attached as Exhibits 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, respectively, are the Declaration of Wallace Shimabukuro, Jr.(ECF No. 745 in Crim. No. 03-00560 (4)); Declaration of Baron McCullough with Exhibit (ECF No. 741 in Crim. No. 03-00560 (4)); Declaration of Brian Medcalf (ECF No. 743 in Crim. No. 03-00560 (4)); Declaration of Jae Un Shimabukuro (ECF No. 746 in Crim. No. 03-00560 (4)); and Declaration of Merilee West (ECF No. 748 in Crim. No. 03-00560(4)). These materials will be treated as claims to the property identified in the declarations, and the declarations are treated as if filed in the present civil action. This court would like to set a schedule in this case that permits early resolution of the disputes among claimants. Toward that end, this court asks the Magistrate Judge to act as soon as allowed by court rules to set a trial date and pretrial deadlines, as well as to establish discovery procedures that are reasonable and that take into account such factors as Shimabukuros incarceration, McCulloughs medical status, and other claimants circumstances." Signed by JUDGE SUSAN OKI MOLLWAY on 12/18/17.
