ORDER

WILLIAM T. MOORE, Jr., District Judge.

Before the Court is the Government's Motion for Default Judgment and Final Order of Forfeiture and Distribution. (Doc. 24.) On July 24, 2012, an amended verified complaint for forfeiture in rem was filed. (Doc. 4.) Kenneth Gossett and Amanda Gossett were served with a copy of the Government's verified complaint through their attorney of record. (Doc. 18.) The Government provided adequate notice of the civil forfeiture, as required by the relevant rules. (Doc. 20.) No person or entity timely filed a claim or answer or demanded restitution of the Defendant Currency. On April 29, 2015, at the request of the Government, the Clerk of Court entered default. (Doc. 23.) The Government then filed its current motion for default judgment. (Doc. 24.) Since the entry of default, no person or entity responded to the entry of default or the Government's motion for default judgment.

After careful consideration, the Government's motion is GRANTED. The Government has shown there was reasonable cause to seize the Defendant Currency, a properly filed amended verified civil complaint for forfeiture in rem was filed pursuant to 21 U.S.C. §§ 881(a)(6) and 18 U.S.C. § 981(a)(1)(A), all known parties were served with proper process, and all other unknown potential claimants were served by publication.
