J. RANDAL HALL, Chief District Judge.
WHEREAS, on November 7, 2017, a federal grand jury sitting in the Southern District of Georgia returned a two-count Indictment against Defendant Adonis Elijah Moment (hereinafter the "Defendant"), wherein he was charged with violating 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1) (Count 1 — Felon in Possession of a Firearm) and 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(9) (Count 2 — Possession of a Firearm by a Person Convicted of Misdemeanor Crimes of Domestic Violence);
WHEREAS, the Indictment sought forfeiture pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 924(d) and 28 U.S.C. § 2461(c) of any firearm involved in the commission of the offense charged in the Indictment;
WHEREAS, on June 12, 2018, pursuant to a written plea agreement, Defendant pled guilty to Count One of the Indictment charging a violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1), Felon in Possession of a Firearm;
WHEREAS, pursuant to his plea agreement, Defendant agreed to forfeit to the United States his interest in any firearm and ammunition involved or used in the knowing commission of the offense to which he has agreed to plead guilty, specifically, one Harrington and Richardson, Model 732, .32 caliber revolver, serial number AU126917 (hereinafter the "Subject Property"); and
WHEREAS, pursuant to his plea agreement, Defendant agreed to waive the requirements of Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure 32.2, and 43(a) regarding notice of the forfeiture in the charging instrument, announcement of the forfeiture at sentencing, and incorporation of the forfeiture in the judgment without further order of the Court.
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND DECREED THAT:
1. Pursuant 18 U.S.C. § 924(d), 28 U.S.C. § 2461(c), and Rule 32.2(b)(1) of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, the Government has established the requisite nexus between the above-described Subject Property and the offense committed by Defendant, and the Subject Property is hereby forfeited to the United States.
2. Upon entry of this Order, the Attorney General (or a designee) is authorized to commence any applicable proceeding to comply with statutes governing third-party rights, including giving notice of this Order.
3. Any person, other than the above-named defendant, asserting a legal interest in the Subject Property may, within thirty days of the final publication of notice or receipt of notice, whichever is earlier, petition the court for a hearing without a jury to adjudicate the validity of his alleged interest in the Subject Property, and for an amendment of the order of forfeiture, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2461(c).
4. Pursuant to Fed. R. Crim. P. 32.2(b)(4), this Consent Order of Forfeiture shall become final as to Defendant at the time of sentencing and shall be made part of the sentence and included in the judgment.

6. If a petition is filed by a third party, and after the disposition of any motion filed under Fed. R. Crim. P. 32.2(c)(1)(A) and before a hearing on the petition, discovery may be conducted in accordance with the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure upon a showing that such discovery is necessary or desirable to resolve factual issues.
7. The United States shall have clear title to the Subject Property following the Court's disposition of all third-party interests, or if none, following the expiration of the period provided in 21 U.S.C. § 853(n)(2) for the filing of third-party petitions.
8. The Court shall retain jurisdiction to enforce this Order, and to amend it as necessary, pursuant to Fed. R. Crim. P. 32.2(e).
