Consolidated Supplemental Third-Party Petition · Original Petitioners Coalition
This 16-page document, docketed October 22, 2025, is a Consolidated Supplemental Third-Party Petition to Adjudicate Petitioners' Interest in Forfeited Property and to Amend the Preliminary Order of Forfeiture Entered as to Defendant Miles Guo, filed under 21 U.S.C. § 853(n) and Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 32.2(c) in United States v. Miles Guo et al., 23-cr-118 (AT). Counsel: Jeffrey S. Gavenman of Schulman, Bhattacharya, Buhler, & Pangilinan PLLC (per the cover letter at case-doc-764).
Petitioning Coalition
The petition consolidates the claims of multiple petitioners who previously filed individual ancillary petitions in early April 2025 in connection with the forfeiture order entered against co-defendant Yvette Wang. The Petitioners' Property ("Petitioners' Property") is more fully described in the petition body.
Procedural Posture
The filing recites the unique forfeiture posture:
- The Court entered a Consent Preliminary Order of Forfeiture concerning Defendant Wang on January 7, 2025 (the "Wang Forfeiture Order," ECF No. 488);
- The Court entered a Preliminary Order of Forfeiture against Defendant Guo on August 11, 2025 (the "Guo Forfeiture Order," ECF No. 720);
- Wang's criminal case concluded first when she pleaded guilty on May 3, 2024;
- Guo's criminal case proceeded on a separate track.
The Petitioners therefore file the supplement to the petitions they filed in early April 2025 to assert their rights against the Guo Forfeiture Order.
Relief Sought
The consolidated petition asks the Court to:
- Adjudicate the Petitioners' Property interests pursuant to § 853(n);
- Amend the Preliminary Order of Forfeiture against Mr. Guo to reflect the Petitioners' superior interests;
- Enable return of the Petitioners' Property where the Court determines the interest is established.
Companion Filings
The filing accompanies:
- The cover letter (case-doc-764) addressing sealing of Petitioners' identifying information;
- The Hamilton entity petitions (case-docs-756, 758, 760) that overlap with this consolidated filing in some claimant identities.
