DEFENDANT'S REPLY REGARDING COURT'S POWER TO STAY FORFEITURE JUDGMENT

PENDING APPEAL

The government's Further Memorandum urges that the sole authority they have found

for their argument that the court is powerless to stay a criminal forfeiture judgment -- a

district court opinion from Florida -- is binding precedent. They cite the Florida court's

opinion that the statute "unambiguously denies standing to a defendant to file this

motion." The Florida court did not notice Rule 38, and if they had they would have

realized the necessity of reconciling the two provisions -- particularly since both were

drafted as part of the same bill. If Congress meant to deny the defendant standing to

request a stay pending appeal -- a right routinely given to litigants on both sides in all

litigation, civil and criminal -- it would have made reference to that exception in Rule 38.
