ORDER. Within 24 hours of this Order, Respondents' counsel is directed to provide Petitioner's counsel any additional forms and instructions regarding the Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA) process not previously provided to Petitioner's counsel. For any item of personal property or for other type of loss for which Petitioner wishes to seek monetary compensation, Petitioner shall, within five days of this Order: Submit, as directed by Respondents, a claim under the FTCA, and Provide the Court a copy of the claim as submitted by email to Tunheim_Chambers@mnd.uscourts.gov. Respondents shall facilitate and reimburse all FTCA claims submitted by Petitioner within 30 days. Should any property for which an FTCA claim has been submitted be later found, Respondents shall return that property to Petitioner, notwithstanding any prior tort claim resolution. For any FTCA claim not fully reimbursed within 30 days of this Order, the Court will issue a further order regarding whether contempt proceedings are necessary stemming from Respondents' violation of the Court's express instructions in its March 24 Order that Petitioner be released with his personal property, including his driver's license.
