The value of HDO total claim being \\$84,948,639.40 from the seized funds.

United States*, 601 U.S. 330, 339–40 (2024) (affirming flexibility in forfeiture procedures under Fed. R. Crim. P. 32.2 where substantial compliance exists and no prejudice occurs);\n\nWHEREAS, the Motion further requests permission for ongoing submission of additional affidavits to supplement the filing as secure channels become available, in accordance with the Court's retained jurisdiction under Preliminary Order ¶ 9 and Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 32.2(c)(2) (authorizing amendment of petitions based on evolving circumstances);\n\nWHEREAS, the Court has considered the Motion, the Government's response (if any), and the applicable law, including the need to reconcile procedural requirements with due process principles under *Mullane v. Central Hanover Bank & Trust Co.*, 339 U.S. 306, 314–15 (1950), and to avoid unconstitutional deprivations of property under Austin v.
