ORDER CONFIRMING SALE OF REAL PROPERTY AND
FOR DISTRIBUTION OF PROCEEDS

On July 28, 2014, the Court entered an Order of Judicial Sale in this case
(Docket #115). The Order directed the Internal Revenue Service Property Appraisal
and Liquidation Specialist (“PALS”) to sell certain real property and report the sale to the
Court. The Order permitted the sale of the following real property commonly referred to
as 11420 Teachout Road, Colorado Springs, Colorado 80908 (“subject property”). The
subject property is more particularly described as follows:
Lot 2, in Black Forest Square Filing No. 1, in El Paso
County, Colorado, according to the plat thereof recorded
August 28, 1998 at Reception No. 98123605
The United States has reported, and the Court so finds, that the sale was
publicized in accordance with 28 U.S.C. §§ 2001-2002 and properly conducted, on
November 13, 2014 at the subject property, and that the subject property sold for
$266,000. The purchasers have fully paid the purchase price to the IRS PALS, who

then deposited the funds into the Court’s registry. The United States seeks an Order
confirming the sale and directing the Clerk to distribute the sale proceeds.
In accordance with the foregoing, and for good cause shown, the motion is
GRANTED, and it is hereby,
ORDERED, the sale on November 13, 2014, of the real property at issue was
properly conducted and no objection was filed so that the sale of the real property at
issue is confirmed;
ORDERED, the Internal Revenue Service is authorized to execute and deliver
to the purchaser(s) a Deed to Real Property conveying the real property at issue;
ORDERED, on delivery of the Deed to Real Property, all interests in, liens
against, or claims to the real property at issue that are held or asserted in this action
by the plaintiff or any of the defendants are discharged. On delivery of the Deed to Real
Property, the real property at issue shall be free and clear of the interests of the United
States (or the Internal Revenue Service); Jim D. Welch, Celestial Pursuits Trust, CIT
Group/Equipment Financing, Inc., and Colorado Department of Revenue.
ORDERED, possession of the real property sold shall be yielded to the
purchaser(s) upon the production of a copy of the Deed to Real Property; and if there is
a refusal to so yield, a Writ of Assistance may, without further notice, be issued by the
Clerk of this Court to compel delivery of the real property at issue to the purchaser;

Court’s registry in the following manner:
