THIS MATTER came before the Court on the United States’ Request for Entry of
18 a Default Judgment of Forfeiture (“Request”). See Dkt. No. 9. Having reviewed the
19 Request, as well as the other pleadings and papers filed in this matter, the Court FINDS a
20 Default Judgment of Forfeiture is appropriately entered because:

• The United States properly served, by direct notice and publication, all
22
potential claimants to the above-captioned $36,360.00 and any accrued
23
interest (“the Defendant Currency”) (Declaration of AUSA Michelle Jensen

in this case; and,
• On October 31, 2017, the Clerk of Court entered default against all
potential claimants to the Defendant Currency (Order of Default, Dkt. No.
