FINAL JUDGMENT OF FORFEITURE

TROY L. NUNLEY, District Judge.

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

1. This is a civil action in rem brought against Approximately $18,580.00 in U.S. Currency (hereafter "defendant currency") seized on or about May 12, 2012.

2. A Verified Complaint for Forfeiture In Rem ("Complaint") was filed on November 14, 2012, alleging that said defendant currency is subject to forfeiture to the United States pursuant to 21 U.S.C. § 881(a)(6).

3. On November 14, 2012, the Clerk issued a Warrant for Arrest for the defendant currency, and that warrant was duly executed on November 15, 2012.

4. Beginning on November 25, 2012, 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 January 7, 2013.

5. In addition to the public notice on the official internet government forfeiture site www.forfeiture.gov, actual notice or attempted notice was given to the following individuals:

6. Claimant Richard Dean Huss filed a claim on February 6, 2013. No other parties have filed claims or answers in this matter, and the time in which any person or entity may file a claim and answer has expired.

7. The Clerk of the Court entered a Clerk's Certificate of Entry of Default against Shellee Spurling on August 29, 2013. Pursuant to Local Rule 540, the United States and claimant thus join in a request that as a part of this Final Judgment of Forfeiture the Court enter a default judgment against the interest, if any, of Shellee Spurling without further notice.

Based on the above findings, and the files and records of the Court, it is hereby ORDERED AND ADJUDGED:

1. The Court adopts the Stipulation for Final Judgment of Forfeiture entered into by and between the parties to this action.

2. That judgment is hereby entered against claimant Richard Dean Huss and all other potential claimants who have not filed claims in this action.

3. Upon entry of this Final Judgment of Forfeiture, $14,980.00 of the $18,580.00 in U.S. Currency, together with any interest that may have accrued on the total amount seized, shall be forfeited to the United States pursuant to 21 U.S.C. § 881(a)(6), to be disposed of according to law.

4. Upon entry of this Final Judgment of Forfeiture, but no later than 60 days thereafter, $3,600.00 of the $18,580.00 in U.S. Currency shall be returned to claimant Richard Dean Huss.

5. That the United States and its servants, agents, and employees and all other public entities, their servants, agents, and employees, are released from any and all liability arising out of or in any way connected with the seizure, arrest, or forfeiture of the defendant currency. This is a full and final release applying to all unknown and unanticipated injuries, and/or damages arising out of said seizure, arrest, or forfeiture, as well as to those now known or disclosed. The parties waived the provisions of California Civil Code § 1542.

6. Claimant Richard Dean Huss waived any and all claim or right to interest that may have accrued on the defendant currency.

7. That pursuant to the stipulation of the parties, and the allegations set forth in the Complaint filed on November 14, 2012, the Court finds that there was reasonable cause for the seizure and arrest of the defendant currency, and for the commencement and prosecution of this forfeiture action, and a Certificate of Reasonable Cause pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2465 shall be entered accordingly.

SO ORDERED.
