Unopposed Motion for this Court to approve the Interlocutory Sale of 1035 Aviator Court, Henderson, NV 89002 and Order

The United States of America moves this Court to approve the offer of $950,000 for the Interlocutory Sale of the real property held in the name of Dustin M. Lewis, Ingrid N. Lewis, and Lewis Family Living Trust located at 1035 Aviator Court, Henderson, Nevada 89002, which is more particularly described as follows:

That portion of the North half (N 1/2) of the Northwest quarter (NW 1/4) of section 32, township 22 South, range 63 East, M.D.M. and M., described as follows: Parcel Two (2) of that certain parcel map on file in File 109 of Parcel Maps, Page 34, in the Office of the County Recorder, Clark County, Nevada, together with all improvements and appurtenances thereon, APN: 179-32-101-053

(all of which constitutes property).

This Court authorized the Unopposed Motion for Interlocutory Sale of this property and ordered its sale (ECF No. 89, 92). However because the amount came in lower than the three estimates of Zillow.com for $1,168,465; Redfin.com for $1,132,158; and Realtor.com for $1,104,700, the government must request this Court's approval for the interlocutory order of sale at $950,000.

Joseph Soraci and Kari Soraci, the potential buyers, have offered $950,000 for the property. Pursuant to forfeiture law, the government has determined they are not felons. Dustin M. Lewis, Ingrid N. Lewis, and Lewis Family Living Trust want to accept the offer. Douglas Sawyer, their realtor who is coordinating the sale with the government, indicates it is an arms-length transaction and is a good offer even though the listing price for the real property was $1,150,000. The government does not oppose Dustin M. Lewis, Ingrid N. Lewis, and Lewis Family Living Trust accepting and signing the offer. Because this Court has jurisdiction of this property, the government requests this Court to authorize this interlocutory sale.

After the costs and expenses of the property sale and paying the deed of trust on the realty, the net sale proceeds will (1) pay $220,000 to OneWest Bank, the victim of his mortgage fraud, (2) the remaining balance will be deposited with the court registry to be applied toward restitution of $704,002 to SCPPA in case number 2:17-CR-391-APG-VCF, and if any net sale proceeds are left after paying 1 and 2 above, the remainder will be paid to the Department of Justice Seized Asset Forfeiture Fund.

For the reasons stated above, the United States respectfully requests this Court to approve the sale of the property.

Respectfully submitted, NICHOLAS A. TRUTANICH United States Attorney /s/ Daniel D. Hollingsworth DANIEL D. HOLLINGSWORTH Assistant United States Attorney

IT IS SO ORDERED.
