Status of Related Criminal Case
This matter is before the court for a status hearing regarding the related criminal
case, People v. Halterhurn (El Dorado Super. Ct., Case No. 25CR2987). Under California
state law, where, as here, forfeiture is contested, a judgment of forfeiture requires as a
precondition that a defendant be convicted in an underlying or related criminal action of
one of the offenses specified in Health and Safety Code section 11470, subdivisions (e)
or (g), which offense occurred within five years before the seizure or the notification of intention to seek forfeiture.
The court’s register of actions indicates the criminal case is set for a pre-preliminary
hearing on September 14, 2026. The court, on its own motion and in the interest of
judicial economy, continues the status hearing in the instant case to
November 20, 2026.
TENTATIVE RULING # 6: THE COURT, ON ITS OWN MOTION AND IN THE INTEREST OF
JUDICIAL ECONOMY, CONTINUES THE STATUS HEARING TO 1:30 P.M., FRIDAY,
NOVEMBER 20, 2026, IN DEPARTMENT FOUR.
