2. Beginning on December 12, 2014, for at least 30 consecutive days, the United States published notice of the Court's Order of Forfeiture on the official internet government forfeiture site www.forfeiture.gov. Said published notice advised all third parties of their right to petition the Court within sixty (60) days from the first day of publication of the notice for a hearing to adjudicate the validity of their alleged legal interest in the forfeited property. A Declaration of Publication was filed on January 29, 2015.

3. On December 24, 2014, Vladimir Yakovlev contacted the government claiming an interest in the real property located at 1021 Vinci Avenue, Sacramento, CA, APN: 226-0080-058-0000. His wife, Irina Yakovlev, is on title to that property.

4. No other party or entity has filed a petition asserting an interest in the real properties listed above, and the time in which any person or entity may file a petition has expired.

5. The United States and potential petitioners Irina Yakovlev and Vladimir Yakovlev have reached a settlement regarding their interest in the real property located at 1021 Vinci Avenue, Sacramento, CA. The parties further stipulate that the Preliminary Order of Forfeiture remains valid to the extent it orders the forfeiture of Leonid Yakovlev's interest in the real properties.

6. Irina Yakovlev and Vladimir Yakovlev have agreed to pay the United States a sub res in the amount of $18,000.00 in lieu of the United States forfeiting the real property located at 1021 Vinci Avenue, Sacramento, California, APN: 226-0080-058-0000. The sub res shall be paid within sixty (60) days of signing this Stipulation. Irina Yakovlev and Vladimir Yakovlev shall send the $18,000.00 sub res in the form of a cashier's check, payable to the Department of the Treasury, to the following address: U.S. Attorney's Office, Att: Asset Forfeiture Unit, 501 I Street, Suite 10-100, Sacramento, California 95814. Said funds shall be forfeited to the United States pursuant to 31 U.S.C. § 5317(c)(1).

7. If the sub res of $18,000.00 is not paid within sixty (60) days of signing this Stipulation, then Irina Yakovlev and Vladimir Yakovlev forfeit all of their right, title, and interest in the real property located at 1021 Vinci Avenue, Sacramento, California, APN: 226-0080-058-0000, and the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") shall be authorized to sell the real property.

8. Potential petitioners Irina Yakovlev and Vladimir Yakovlev agree to release and hold harmless the United States, and any agents, servants, and employees of the United States (and any involved state or local law enforcement agencies and their agents, servants, or employees), in their individual or official capacities, from any and all claims that currently exist or that may arise as a result of the Government's actions against and relating to the real property at 1021 Vinci Avenue, Sacramento, California. As against the United States and its agents, Irina Yakovlev and Vladimir Yakovlev agree to waive the provisions of California Civil Code § 1542, which provides:

"A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor."

9. Irina Yakovlev and Vladimir Yakovlev understand and agree that by entering into this stipulation of their interest in the property at 1021 Vinci Avenue, Sacramento, California, they waive any right to litigate further their ownership interest in the property and to petition for remission or mitigation of the forfeiture. Thereafter, if this Stipulation for Final Order of Forfeiture is approved by the Court, then unless specifically directed by an order of the Court, Irina Yakovlev and Vladimir Yakovlev shall be excused and relieved from further participation in this action.

10. If the $18,000.00 is not paid within sixty (60) days of signing this Stipulation, the parties agree to execute further documents, to the extent reasonably necessary, to convey clear title to the real property at 1021 Vinci Avenue, Sacramento, California to the United States and to implement further the terms of this Stipulation. Each party agrees to bear its own costs and attorneys' fees.

11. Within thirty days of receipt of the $18,000.00 and entry of this Final Order of Forfeiture, the United States shall send a Notice of Withdrawal of Lis Pendens to the county recorder for the property at 1021 Vinci Avenue, Sacramento, California.

12. The sale of the real property located at 8450 Sunrise Boulevard, Roseville, CA, APNs: 470-211-008 and 216-0030-002 shall be handled by the IRS in a commercially reasonable manner. The IRS shall have sole authority to select the means of sale, including sale by internet or through a licensed real estate broker, and shall have sole authority over the marketing and sale of the property. Any and all personal possessions not removed within thirty days from the entry of this Final Order of Forfeiture will be disposed of by the United States without further notice.

13. The terms of this Stipulation shall be subject to approval by the United States District Court. Violation of any term or condition herein shall be construed as a violation of an order of the Court.

14. The court shall maintain jurisdiction over this matter to enforce the terms of this stipulation.
