FINAL JUDGMENT OF FORFEITURE
SHERI POLSTER CHAPPELL, District Judge.
THIS CAUSE comes before the Court upon the United States' Motion for a Final Judgment of Forfeiture, pursuant to 21 U.S.C. § 853(n)(7) and Rule 32.2(c)(2) of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, for the following computer equipment:
A generic computer tower, with no model number and no serial number, containing the following hard drive: Seagate model number: ST31500341AS; serial number: 9VS4EJH9, 1500 gigabyte hard drive, which is a product of Thailand.
On January 22, 2016, the Court entered a Preliminary Order of Forfeiture for the computer equipment described above, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 2253. Doc. 95.
The Court finds that in accordance with 21 U.S.C. § 853(n) and Rule 32.2(b)(6)(C), the United States published notice of the forfeiture and of its intent to dispose of the computer equipment on the official government website, www.forfeiture.gov, from February 11, 2016 through March 11, 2016. Doc. 105. The publication gave notice to all third parties with a legal interest in the computer equipment to file with the Clerk of Court, U.S. Federal Courthouse and Federal Building, 2110 First Street, Room 2-194, Fort Myers, FL 33901, a petition to adjudicate their interest within 60 days of the first date of publication. The Court further finds that, in accordance with the requirements of 21 U.S.C. § 853(n) and due process, the United States properly noticed Debra Wagner Palmer and Richard Ellis Palmer, the only individuals known to have a potential interest in the computer equipment. No third party has filed a petition or claimed an interest in the asset, and the time for filing such petition has expired.
Accordingly, it is hereby:
ORDERED, ADJUDGED, and DECREED that for good cause shown, the United States' motion is GRANTED.
It is FURTHER ORDERED that pursuant to 21 U.S.C. § 853(n)(7) and Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 32.2(c)(2), all right, title and interest in the computer equipment identified above are CONDEMNED and FORFEITED to the United States for disposition according to law.
Clear title to the computer equipment is now vested in the United States of America.
DONE and ORDERED.
