A: First, you may want to consult with an experienced attorney who specializes in civil rights or federal litigation to understand your legal options and the specific circumstances surrounding the seizure of your belongings at LAX in December 2018.

You can file a claim against the U.S. Marshals Service for the return of your seized property and seek compensation for any damages you may have suffered. Your attorney can help you gather evidence and build a strong case to present to the court.

Additionally, you may consider reaching out to Judge Percy Anderson's court to inquire about the status of your case and request a hearing if one hasn't been scheduled. The court may be able to provide guidance on the process for recovering your seized items.

It's crucial to follow the legal procedures and work closely with your attorney to ensure the best possible outcome in your case.
