FINAL ORDER OF FORFEITURE
WALTER H. RICE, District Judge.
Upon the United States' Motion for Final Order of Forfeiture and the Court's review of the record, the Court HEREBY FINDS THAT:
On July 1, 2019, the Court entered a Notation Order sustaining the United States' Motion for Preliminary Order of Forfeiture for the forfeiture of a Makarov, model M, 9×18mm caliber pistol bearing Serial Number EW8733 (the "subject property") pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 924(d)(1) and 28 U.S.C. § 2461(c). The defendant had an interest in the subject property.
The United States gave electronic notice through the CM/ECF notification system of the Motion for Preliminary Order of Forfeiture to counsel for the defendant, and the defendant did not object to the forfeiture.
On November 4, 2019, the Court held the defendant's sentencing hearing and announced the forfeiture of the subject property. The Judgment establishes that the defendant shall forfeit the subject property to the United States.
The United States published notice of this forfeiture action and of its intent to dispose of the subject property in accordance with the law on an official internet government forfeiture site (www.forfeiture.gov) for at least 30 consecutive days, beginning on July 2, 2019.
The United States did not send direct written notice of the forfeiture because no person or entity reasonably appeared to be a potential claimant with standing to contest the forfeiture of the subject property in the ancillary proceeding.
No person or entity has filed a timely petition with the Court asserting any interest in the subject property or objecting to its proposed forfeiture.
THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT:
1. All right, title, and interest in the subject property is condemned and forfeited to the United States under 18 U.S.C. § 924(d)(1) and 28 U.S.C. § 2461(c), and no right, title, or interest shall remain in any other person or entity.
2. The United States shall dispose of the subject property in accordance with the law.
3. The United States District Court shall retain jurisdiction in the case for the purpose of enforcing this Final Order of Forfeiture.
SO ORDERED.
