ORDER

VIRGINIA M. HERNANDEZ COVINGTON, District Judge.

This matter comes before the Court on review of the file. On June 30, 2005, the Court conducted a bench trial to determine just compensation in eight condemnation proceedings. (Doc. # 41). As to this case, the Court determined that just compensation was $750.00 an acre for a total of $3,700.00, and a Judgment (Doc. # 42) was issued. However, no claimants filed applications seeking withdrawal of the just compensation. On June 30, 2005, upon determining just compensation, the Court noted:

(Doc. # 41 at ¶ 10). Considerably more than 5 years have passed, and the just compensation funds are due to be returned to the United States of America via the National Park Service pursuant to the Order.

However, in reviewing the file, the Court notices that the United States initially identified Robert S. Colp as a potential claimant (as the last known heir and devisee of Herbert W. Colp (deceased)). (Doc. # 11). Thereafter, in an Amended Complaint, the United States notified the Court that Robert S. Colp died. (Doc. # 34 at ¶ 4). The United States served an individual named Dewease W. Elliott with the Amended Complaint and subsequent filings. Without making any finding as to entitlement to the funds at issue, and in an effort to locate unknown claimants, the Court will direct the Clerk to mail a blank application form to Robert S. Colp's last known address, as well as to Dewease W. Elliott. The Court recognizes that Robert S. Colp has passed away, but sends this Order and the attached application to his last known address based on the chance that it will reach an heir to the money at issue.

Accordingly, it is hereby

ORDERED, ADJUDGED, and DECREED:

DONE and ORDERED.
