OPINION
PAUL L. FRIEDMAN, District Judge.
The United States, proceeding as the plaintiff in this civil forfeiture action, has filed a motion for judgment on the pleadings against claimant OAO Gazprom (“Gazprom”). The Court heard oral argument on the motion on May 14, 2010. Upon consideration of the parties’ arguments, the relevant authorities, and the entire record in this case, the Court concludes that Gazprom lacks standing to challenge the proposed forfeiture. 1 The motion for judgment on the pleadings therefore will be granted.
