Because the plaintiff’s successful bid is less than the amount of its claim, it is not

required to transfer any funds to the Marshal as a condition of confirmation. (Doc. 15, ¶ 7).

 This matter is before the Court on the plaintiff’s motion to confirm sale of the F/V LADY

PAIGE II (“the Vessel”), to convey title to the Vessel, and to release the Vessel. (Doc. 19). The

file reflects the following: that notice of the sale was properly given pursuant to Court order; that

the sale took place as ordered on the front steps of the United States Courthouse in Mobile,

Alabama at noon on April 26, 2006; that the plaintiff’s bid of $1,000.00 was the highest and best

bid received; that the plaintiff has performed the terms of the purchase;1

 and that no written

objection to the sale or the sale price has been filed.

Accordingly, pursuant to Supplemental Rule E and Local Admiralty Rule 9, the motion

to confirm sale, convey title and release the Vessel is granted. The sale of the Vessel to the

plaintiff is confirmed. The Marshal is directed to execute and deliver to the plaintiff, or to any

person or entity designated by the plaintiff in writing, a Marshal’s bill of sale conveying title to

the Vessel, her engines, machines, fittings, tackle and all other appurtenances thereto belonging,

free and clear of any and all liens and encumbrances, along with all other appropriate

documentation to effect a proper legal conveyance of the Vessel. The Vessel is hereby released

from seizure and court-directed custodianship by Gazzier Shipyard, Inc. to the plaintiff or to any

person or entity designated by the plaintiff. 

 DONE and ORDERED this 9th day of May, 2006.
