Pursuant to the Stipulation for Final Judgment of Forfeiture, the Court finds:

1. This is a civil forfeiture action against Approximately $6,267.00 in U.S. Currency (hereafter "defendant currency") seized on or about January 14, 2010.

2. A Verified Complaint for Forfeiture In Rem ("Complaint") was filed on June 21, 2010, alleging that said defendant currency is subject to forfeiture to the United States pursuant to 21 U.S.C. § 881(a)(6).

3. On June 21, 2010, the Clerk issued a Warrant for Arrest for the defendant currency, and that warrant was duly executed on June 29, 2010.

4. Beginning on June 23, 2010, for at least 30 consecutive days, the United States published notice of the Forfeiture Action on the official internet government forfeiture site www.forfeiture.gov. A Declaration of Publication was filed on August 17, 2010.

5. In addition to the public notice on the official internet government forfeiture site www.forfeiture.gov, actual notice or attempted notice was given to the following individuals:

6. Claimant Dassany Keophimanh filed a Verified Claim on July 1, 2010, and an Answer on July 20, 2010.

7. The Clerk of the Court entered a Clerk's Certificate of Entry of Default against Robert Ly, Mickey Ly, and My Ngo on August 20, 2013. Pursuant to Local Rule 540, the United States and the claimants request that, as part of this Final Judgment of Forfeiture the Court enter a default judgment against the interests, if any, of Robert Ly, Mickey Ly, and My Ngo without further notice.

Based on the above findings, and the files and records of the Court, it is hereby ORDERED AND ADJUDGED:

3. Upon entry of this Final Judgment of Forfeiture, $3,767.00 of the $6,267.00 in U.S. Currency, together with any interest that may have accrued on the total amount seized, shall be forfeited to the United States pursuant to 21 U.S.C. § 881(a)(6), to be disposed of according to law.

4. Upon entry of this Final Judgment of Forfeiture, but no later than 60 days thereafter, $500.00 of the $6,267.00 in U.S. Currency shall be returned to claimant Dassany Keophimanh through her attorney Scott N.
