Following a stipulation, filed herein, by and between the United States of America and Joseph 

M. Hannegan, Trustee Under The Joseph E. Hannegan Family Trust Dated May 3, 1989 (“Trustee”), the 

Court is fully informed and finds:

The subject property is situated in the County of Tulare, State of California, as more particularly 

described in the Complaint and Declaration of Taking filed herein.

On November 20, 2014, the United States filed a Complaint and a Declaration of Taking which 

describe the estate and interests in the subject property condemned by this action, and delivered a check 

for $1,656,000.00 to the Clerk of the Court as estimated just compensation for the taking of such estate 

and interests. The Clerk deposited the check into the Court’s registry account on November 25, 2014.

The Trustee has warranted and represented that he held fee title to the subject property as of 

November 20, 2014 and November 25, 2014.

The United States and the Trustee have entered into a stipulation whereby the Trustee has agreed 

to accept payment of $1,656,000.00 as just compensation for the Trustee’s interests in the subject 

property. The parties have requested that the Court order the Clerk to disburse the $1,656,000.00 as soon 

as possible under Rule 71.1(j)(2) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.

Based on the stipulation and good cause appearing therefore,

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the stipulation is approved in its entirety;

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that, as soon as possible, and no later than thirty (30) days after the 

date of entry of this Order, the Clerk shall distribute $1,656,000.00 by check made payable to “Joseph M. 

Hannegan, Trustee Under The Joseph E. Hannegan Family Trust Dated May 3, 1989” and mailed to:

Joseph M. Hannegan

2039 Stratford Avenue

South Pasadena, CA 91030

This payment shall be full, adequate, and just compensation for all of the Trustee’s interests in the 

estates and interests condemned in this action and shall be in full satisfaction of any and all claims of 

whatsoever nature by the Trustee against the United States of America in any way related to the institution 

and prosecution of this action.
