On February 11, 2016, the Court entered a Preliminary Order of Forfeiture for the firearms and ammunition described above, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 924(d)(1) and 28 U.S.C. § 2461(c). Doc. 57.
The Court finds that in accordance with 21 U.S.C. § 853(n) and Rule 32.2(b)(6)(C), the United States published notice of the forfeiture and of its intent to dispose of the firearms and ammunition on the official government website, www.forfeiture.gov, from February 13, 2016 through March 13, 2016. Doc. 62. The publication gave notice to all third parties with a legal interest in the firearms and ammunition to file with the Clerk of Court, U.S. Federal Courthouse and Federal Building, 2110 First Street, Room 2-194, Fort Myers, FL 33901, a petition to adjudicate their interest within 60 days of the first date of publication. The Court further finds that, in accordance with the requirements of 21 U.S.C. § 853(n) and due process, the United States properly noticed James Gill, Jennifer Gill, and Danielle Riley, the only individuals known to have a potential interest in the firearms and ammunition. No third party has filed a petition or claimed an interest in the asset, and the time for filing such petition has expired.
Accordingly, it is hereby:
ORDERED that for good cause shown, the United States' motion is GRANTED.
It is FURTHER ORDERED that pursuant to 21 U.S.C. § 853(n)(7) and Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 32.2(c)(2), all right, title and interest in the firearms and ammunition identified above are CONDEMNED and FORFEITED to the United States for disposition according to law.
Clear title to the firearms and ammunition is now vested in the United States of America.
DONE and ORDERED.
