no genuine issue as to any material fact; and that the United States of America, plaintiff herein, is
entitled to such judgment on the Complaint; and that Defendant is neither an infant nor

due to the United States, Farm Service Agency is $201,467.91, it is:
ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND DECREED that:
1. Defendant has breached the conditions of plaintiff’s mortgage and promissory note.

2. There is due the United States, Farm Service Agency, the sum total of $201,467.91,
comprising $140,215.13 in principal and $61,252.78 in interest, as of March 2, 2018, on the
promissory note and mortgage due to such breach.
3. The United States, Farm Service Agency holds first priority in the amount of
$201,467.91; Party-in Interest Camden National Bank holds a second priority interest by virtue
of its mortgage dated October 5, 2007, and recorded in the Lincoln County Registry of Deeds in
Book 3920, Page 107, in the amount of $28,884.23 as of November 4, 2017, with additional
daily interest of $2.599 accruing on the unpaid principal balance of $25,298.81 since that date;
and there are no public utility easements held by a party in interest.
4. The real property, which is the subject of this action and judgment, is as described in
the Complaint and as described in a real estate mortgage executed by Defendant recorded in the
Lincoln County Registry of Deeds in Book 3236 at Page 284.
5. If Defendant, or her successors, heirs, or assigns does not pay the plaintiff the amount
adjudged to be due herein within 90 days from the date of this Order, a representative of the
Farm Service Agency, Department of Agriculture, on behalf of the plaintiff, shall sell the
mortgaged real property at public sale pursuant to the requirements of 28 U.S.C. §§ 2001, 2002,
and 2004, 14 M.R.S.A. §§ 6323, 6324, and this judgment. Notice of said sale shall be given by
publishing a Notice of Sale, in a newspaper of general circulation in Lincoln County, Maine,

6. Defendant shall deliver possession of the real property to plaintiff within ten (10)
days after the foreclosure sale.
7. The mortgagee, in its sole discretion, may allow the mortgagor to redeem or reinstate
the loan after the expiration of the period of redemption but before the public sale. The
mortgagee may convey the property to the mortgagor (redemption) or execute a waiver of
foreclosure (reinstatement) and all other rights of all other parties shall remain as if no
foreclosure had been commenced.
8. The plaintiff will enter a minimum bid at the foreclosure sale. If it is the successful
bidder, it need not remit any funds to the Marshal, provided its bid does not exceed the amount
due on its mortgage, costs of this action, and the expenses of sale. The Marshal shall then
deliver a deed conveying the mortgaged premises to the purchaser on behalf of the plaintiff.
Such deed shall convey the premises free and clear of all interests of Defendant and any person
who may have acquired an interest in the premises after the time that the Court’s Certificate with
respect to this action was filed in the Lincoln County Registry of Deeds. Thereafter, every
person shall be forever barred and foreclosed of all rights, claims, liens, and equity of redemption
in the mortgaged real property.

responsible for any real estate taxes, assessments, water or sewer rents which may be due with
respect to the mortgaged premises. From the proceeds of the sale of the real property and
personal property, the Marshal shall first pay all costs including the costs and expenses of sale;
then he shall pay Farm Service Agency the principal amount due on its mortgage totaling
$201,467.91, comprising $140,215.13 in principal and $61,252.78 in interest, as of March 2,
2018, on the promissory note and mortgage due to such breach; then she shall pay Party-in

3

Interest Camden National Bank the amount of $28,884.23 such with such additional daily
interest as has accrued. There being no other parties that have appeared in this action, any
surplusage shall then be remitted to defendant.
10. A Report of Sale and Disbursement of any proceeds therefrom shall be filed with the
Clerk. If the plaintiff is the successful purchaser, the report shall indicate the amount of its bid
which shall be credited against the amount due under its mortgages and security agreement.
