UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF WISCONSIN
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff,
Case No. 15-CV-1420-JPS
v.
MARK V. MURPHY, WELLS FARGO
BANK, N.A., formerly known as Wells Fargo
Home Mortgage, and WISCONSIN
DEPARTMENT OF REVENUE,

ORDER

Defendants.
On September 30, 2016, the Court entered an order granting Plaintiff’s
motion for default judgment against Defendant Mark V. Murphy for unpaid
taxes. (Docket #25 at 4–5). The Clerk of the Court entered a default judgment
on December 9, 2016. (Docket #28). The parties come before the Court once
more to jointly request that the judgment be amended. (Docket #29).
Specifically, the parties request that the following changes be made:
(1) the default judgment should reflect that the proceeds of the
sale of the subject property should be distributed “in
accordance with the parties’ stipulations,” not according to
their mortgage lien interests in the property;
(2) the default judgment should order sale of the property by
the Internal Revenue Service Property Appraisal and
Liquidation Specialist, not the Racine County Sheriff; and
(3) the default judgment should reflect that Defendant Wells
Fargo Bank N.A.’s correct name is “Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.,
formerly known as Wells Fargo Home Mortgage,” not “Wells
Fargo Bank, N.A., also known as Wells Fargo Home Mortgage,
Inc.”

Id. at 3. The parties have attached a draft amended judgment containing their
requested changes. See (Docket #29-1). Based on the parties’ agreement, and
having no independent basis to question the parties’ requested amendments,
the Court will grant the motion for an amended default judgment.
Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED that the joint motion to amend the default judgment
(Docket #29) be and the same is hereby GRANTED; and
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk of the Court shall enter an
amended default judgment in accordance with this order.
Dated at Milwaukee, Wisconsin, this 21st day of February, 2017.
BY THE COURT:

J.P. Stadtmueller
U.S. District Judge
