TO: ALL PERSONS CLAIMING TO BE AN OWNER OF OR INTEREST HOLDER IN ANY OF THE PROPERTY DESCRIBED ABOVE

YOU ARE HEREBY GIVEN NOTICE that the State of Arizona claims that the property described above is forfeited to the State of Arizona pursuant to A.R.S. §§13-2314(G)(3), 13-3413B(1) and 13-4301, et seq. The property was physically seized on February 6, 2009. The property was seized for forfeiture on the same date of this Notice. This is your Notice of seizure for forfeiture pursuant to A.R.S. §13-4306(C).

The Attorney for the State has chosen to make uncontested forfeiture available pursuant to A.R.S. §13-4309. Any person claiming to be an owner or interest holder in any of the subject property, and who contests the forfeiture, must, within thirty-five (35) days of publication of this notice, either (a) submit a petition for remission or mitigation to the State’s attorney, or (b) file a claim with the Court. You should not both submit a petition and file a claim at the same time. But if you do not timely either submit a petition or file a claim, then all of your interests in the subject property will be forfeited.

Any petition submitted and any claim filed, must comply with the requirements of A.R.S. §13-4311(E) and (F).

Any Petition must be mailed to the Attorney for the State:

Cochise County Attorney’s Office

Any claim must be filed in either the Cochise County Justice Court, Precinct Number One, or in the Cochise County Superior Court, using the caption on this Notice.

If you post a bond or cash in lieu of the property, then the bond or cash and not the property will be subject to forfeiture.
