Case No. 4:16-CV-877 (CEJ)

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
This matter is before the Court on plaintiff’s motion for default judgment
pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 55(b)(2).

The Clerk of Court entered default on May 9,

2017.
On June 17, 2016, the government filed a verified complaint for forfeiture
pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §981(a)(1)(C). On June 22, 2016, the government executed
the Notice of Complaint on each defendant property.

The government published

notice of the forfeiture action on an official government website for at least 30
consecutive days, beginning June 24, 2016. No answer has been filed on behalf of
any claimant. No claimant has filed a claim to the defendant properties within the
time permitted by Rule G of the Supplemental Rules for Admiralty or Maritime
Claims and Asset Forfeiture Actions.
The government has shown through its verified complaint that there was
reasonable cause for seizure of the defendant properties. The defendant properties
were served with process and all other potential claimants were served by

publication.

No valid claims appear in the Court record.

Therefore, default

judgment will be entered in favor of the plaintiff and against the defendant
properties.
