This matter comes before the Court on Plaintiff’s motion to confirm the sale of real

16

property to satisfy a judgement (Dkt. No. 26). On June 5, 2015, the Court granted Plaintiff’s

17

unopposed motion for an order of foreclosure (Dkt. No. 25). Pursuant to the Court’s order,

18

Plaintiff was required to confirm the foreclosure sale by filing with the Court: (1) a report of

19

sale; (2) proposed order of confirmation of sale; and (3) proposed deed. Having reviewed

20

Plaintiff’s motion and attachments, the Court FINDS the following:

21

The record reflects that notice of the sale was duly given by posting and publishing in

22

the form and manner required by law, and that the real property so sold is more particularly

23

described as:
