On December 31, 2013, the United States filed a Motion for Confirmation of the Sale. A

18 hearing on the Motion was set for January 29, 2014 at 9:30 a.m. before the undersigned. No
19 objections to the Motion for Confirmation of the Sale have been filed. The Court, having
20 reviewed the record, finds this matter suitable for decision without oral argument. See Local
21 Rule 230(g). Accordingly, the previously scheduled hearing set on January 29, 2014 will be

according to the Map thereof recorded in Book 38, Page 70 of Parcel Maps, in the
Office of the County Recorder of said County, being a portion of the Northwest
quarter of Section 35, Township 11 South, Range 23 East, Mount Diablo Base
and Meridian, according to the Official Plat thereof.
The United States has reported, and the Court so finds, that the sale was publicized in
accordance with 28 U.S.C. § 2001 and properly conducted. For four weeks prior to November
22, 2013, a newspaper of general circulation in Fresno County, published notice of the sale. On
November 22, 2013, at the Fresno County Courthouse, the United States offered for sale at
public auction to the highest bidder the property described in the Notice of Sale. The successful
bidder bid $227,000.00 and the required deposit of $23,000 was paid at the time of the sale. The
$23,000 was deposited in the Court's registry at the time and the remainder was deposited on
December 11, 2013. The United States seeks an order confirming the sale of the Property.
In accordance with the foregoing, and for good cause shown, IT IS ORDERED THAT
the sale on November 22, 2013, of the real property commonly known as 27484 Oak Flat Lane,
Clovis, California was properly conducted. The sale is hereby confirmed.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED THAT the Internal Revenue Service is authorized to
execute and deliver to the purchaser a Certificate of Sale and Deed conveying the real property
commonly known as 27484 Oak Flat Lane, Clovis, California to the purchaser or to their
assignee(s).
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED THAT, on delivery of the Certificate of Sale and Deed, all
interests in, liens against, or claims to the subject property that are held or asserted in this action
by the plaintiff or any of the defendants are discharged. On delivery of the Certificate of Sale
and Deed, the real property commonly known as 27484 Oak Flat Lane, Clovis, California shall
be free and clear of the interests of defendants Chris Capriotti, Carrie Capriotti, The Chris and
Carrie Capriotti Family Trust, Oakview Trust, Global Administrative Services, LLC and the
State of California.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED THAT possession of the property sold shall be yielded to
the purchasers upon the production of a copy of the Certificate of Sale and Deed; and if there is a
refusal to so yield, a Writ of Assistance may, without further notice, be issued by the Clerk of

28
