FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

DEBORAH BARNES, Magistrate Judge.

This matter came before the Honorable Deborah Barnes on the United States' ex parte motion for default judgment. There was no appearance by or on behalf of any other person or entity claiming an interest in the above-captioned defendant currency to oppose the United States' motion. Based on the United States' motion and the files and records of the court, THE COURT FINDS as follows:

1. This action arose out of a Verified Complaint for Forfeiture In Rem filed February 8, 2018 and an Amended Verified Complaint for Forfeiture In Rem filed February 14, 2018.

2. The United States has moved this Court, pursuant to Local Rule 540, for entry of default judgment of forfeiture against potential claimants Yaniv Gohar, Eran Berkovich and United Home SF, Inc.

3. The United States has shown that a complaint for forfeiture was filed; that potential claimants Yaniv Gohar, Eran Berkovich and United Home SF, Inc. received notice of the forfeiture action; that any and all other unknown potential claimants have been served by publication; and that grounds exist for entry of a final judgment of forfeiture.

Therefore, IT IS RECOMMENDED as follows:

1. That Yaniv Gohar, Eran Berkovich and United Home SF, Inc. be held in default;

2. That the United States' motion for default judgment and final judgment of forfeiture be granted;

3. That judgment by default be entered against any right, title, or interest of potential claimants Yaniv Gohar, Eran Berkovich and United Home SF, Inc. in the defendant assets referenced in the above caption;

4. That a final judgment be entered, forfeiting all right, title, and interest in the defendant assets to the United States, to be disposed of according to law;

5. That the Default Judgment and Final Judgment of Forfeiture lodged herein be signed by the Honorable Garland E. Burrell, Jr. and filed by the Clerk of the Court.
