OPINION AND ORDER1
On June 6, 2018, the Court Ordered the Government to show cause in writing why
this case should not be closed. (Doc. 49). The Government responded that the case
should not be closed because it planned to schedule the sale of the subject property
“within the next few weeks.” (Doc. 50 at ¶ 5). The Government then requested the Court
to continue to retain jurisdiction over the matter pending sale of the subject property,
confirmation by the Court, and distribution of the proceeds of sale. (Doc. 50 at ¶ 7).
Underlying that request, the Government committed to file a status report detailing the
posture of the case on or before July 11, 2018. (Doc. 50 at ¶ 6).
