L. SCOTT COOGLER, District Judge.

WHEREAS, on November 6, 2018, this Court entered a Preliminary Order of Forfeiture forfeiting defendant's interest in a Glock, model 17, 9mm pistol, bearing serial number AUY243US and a Glock GMBH, model 23, .40 caliber pistol, bearing serial number WDU090 and miscellaneous ammunition. (Doc. #28);

WHEREAS, publication of notice was not required pursuant to Rule G(4)(a) of the Supplemental Rules for Admiralty or Maritime Claims and Asset Forfeiture Actions as the property is worth less than $1,000 and the only potential claimant is the defendant.

WHEREAS, the Court finds that defendant Thomas has an interest in the property that is subject to forfeiture pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 924(d)(1) by 28 U.S.C. § 2461(c). The United States has established the requisite nexus between such property in the commission of the offenses in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1).

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the United States' Motion for a Final Order of Forfeiture is GRANTED as follows:

1. The following property is hereby forfeited to the United States pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 924(d)(1) by 28 U.S.C. § 2461(c): a Glock, model 17, 9mm pistol, bearing serial number AUY243US and a Glock GMBH, model 23, .40 caliber pistol, bearing serial number WDU090 and miscellaneous ammunition.

2. All right, title and interest to the property described above is hereby condemned, forfeited and vested in the United States and shall be disposed of according to law;

3. The United States District Court shall retain jurisdiction in the case for the purpose of enforcing this Order; and,

4. The Clerk of the Court shall forward a certified copy of this Order to the United States Attorney's Office.
