KIMBERLY J. MUELLER, District Judge.

This is a civil action in rem brought against Approximately $160,243.00 in U.S. Currency, ("defendant currency"), which was seized on November 9, 2012. Complaint, ECF No. 1 at 1. A verified complaint for forfeiture in rem was filed on April 25, 2013 alleging that defendant currency is subject to forfeiture to the United States as provided by 21 U.S.C. § 881(a)(6). Id. On April 29, 2013, the Clerk issued a Warrant for Arrest of the defendant currency, and that warrant was duly executed on May 2, 2013. ECF No. 4. Beginning on May 1, 2013, 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 May 31, 2013. ECF No. 9.

The Clerk of the Court entered a Clerk's Certificate of Entry of Default against Marina Rodriguez on January 23, 2015. ECF No. 14.
