ORDER

Pending before the Court is the Government’s Motion to Dismiss [# 11]. On
May 24, 2011, the Government and Claimant filed a Settlement Agreement whereby
Claimant agreed to withdraw his Claim and Answer and the Government agreed to
release and return to the Claimant and to dismiss its allegation of forfeiture against the
defendant property. Accordingly, the Government moves pursuant to Rule 41(a)(2)
of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure to voluntarily dismiss the Verified Complaint.
Upon a review of the Settlement Agreement, the Government’s motion, and the record
in this case, the Court GRANTS the Government’s Motion to Dismiss [# 11]. The
Court DISMISSES the Verified Complaint [# 1] and DIRECTS the Clerk to CLOSE
this case.
