1. This action arose out of a Verified Complaint for Forfeiture In Rem filed on or about 

September 22, 2014.

2. The United States has moved this Court, pursuant to Local Rule 540, for entry of default 

judgment of forfeiture against potential claimants Eric Portela, Keith Toman, Jr. and Ryan Olsen.

3. The United States has shown that a complaint for forfeiture was filed; that potential 

claimants Eric Portela, Keith Toman, Jr. and Ryan Olsen 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 Eric Portela, Keith Toman, Jr. and Ryan Olsen 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 Eric Portela, Keith Toman, Jr. and Ryan Olsen in the defendant properties referenced in the 

above caption;

4. That a final judgment be entered, forfeiting all right, title, and interest in the defendant 

properties 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 Morrison C. England Jr. and filed by the Clerk of the Court.

Dated: January 22, 2015
