DECREE OF FORFEITURE
The Court previously granted default judgment against the defendant
real property in this matter. Document No. 14. As guided by 18 U.S.C. § 985
and Rule G of the Supplemental Rules for Admiralty or Maritime Claims and
Asset Forfeiture Actions, the United States filed a verified complaint in rem for
forfeiture, served the complaint on all required parties, and published notice
of the action. After no claim or answer was filed on behalf of the properties,
the Clerk entered a default and the Court granted a default judgment

pursuant to Rule 55(b)(2) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. The
government now moves for a decree of civil forfeiture.
The Court therefore declares that the following described properties are
forfeited and title is now vested in the United States:
(1)

The West 42 feet of the South 135 feet of Lot 1, Block
5, and a strip of land 5 feet in width lying along the
South line thereof, formerly platted as an alley, and a
strip beginning 5 feet South of the Northwest corner
of Lot 1, Block 5; thence West 20 feet; thence South 140
feet; thence East 20 feet; thence North 140 feet to
beginning, being a part of what was formerly platted
as Garrett Street, all being in Interurban Heights, in
the City of Little Rock, Pulaski County, Arkansas.

Lot 4, Block 4, Bradford Place Subdivision to the City
of North Little Rock, Pulaski County, Arkansas.

(3)

Lot 6, Block 3, Park Terrace Addition No. 2, a

County, Arkansas.

ALL BEING SUBJECT TO any and all easements,
restrictions, and rights-of-way of record, and any and all oil,
gas, and other mineral rights or interests heretofore
conveyed or reserved of record.
These properties are more commonly known as: (1) 6815 West 34th Street,
Little Rock, Arkansas; (2) 412 Libby Lane, North Little Rock, Arkansas; and (3)
5821 Sonora Drive, North Little Rock, Arkansas. All prior claims and interests
