UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS
WESTERN DIVISION
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
v.

PLAINTIFF

CASE NO. 4:16CV00671 JLH

$55,905.00 IN U.S. CURRENCY

DEFENDANT

DECREE OF FORFEITURE
The United States moves for a default judgment and a decree of forfeiture. The motion of
the United States is GRANTED. As guided by 18 U.S.C. § 983 and Supplemental 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. The time for additional parties to appear has expired; therefore,
the Clerk entered a default.
The Court declares that the Defendant Currency is forfeited and title is now vested in the
United States. All prior claims to the Defendant Currency are extinguished and declared void.
The Defendant Currency shall be turned over to the United States Marshals Service and disposed
of according to law.
IT IS SO ORDERED this 2nd day of August, 2017.
