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

1. This is a civil action in rem brought by the United States for forfeiture of real properties connected to bank fraud.

2. A Verified Complaint for Forfeiture In Rem ("Complaint") was filed on July 18, 2017, alleging that said defendant properties were subject to forfeiture to the United States pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 981(a)(1)(C).

3. Beginning on August 5, 2017, 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 September 5, 2017.

6. The Clerk of the Court entered a Clerk's Certificate of Entry of Default against George Goldie and Sharon Pugh on October 27, 2017. Pursuant to Local Rule 540, the United States and Claimant thus join in a request that as part of the Final Judgment of Forfeiture in this case the Court enter a default judgment against the interest, if any, of George Goldie and Sharon Pugh without further notice. A clerk's default was obtained against Forum Capital Investors 2015; the United States and Claimant hereby request to set aside the Clerk's Certificate of Entry of Default against the entity as part of this Stipulation.

On March 1, 2018, escrow for the defendant property at 2700 Winding Creek Lane, Meadow Vista, California closed and the United States received a cashier's check in the amount of $198,345.81, which will be substituted in lieu of the real property. The total amount of sale proceeds available for disbursement in lieu of the defendant properties is Approximately $240,258.35 in U.S. Currency.
