1. This action arose out of a Verified Complaint for

Forfeiture In Rem filed April 25, 2007.

2. Plaintiff United States of America has moved this

Court, pursuant to Local Rule A-540, for entry of default

judgment of forfeiture against potential claimant Abdul Aziz.

3. Plaintiff has shown that a complaint for forfeiture was

filed; that potential claimant Abdul Aziz received actual 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:

4. That Abdul Aziz be held in default;

5. That plaintiff's motion for default judgment and final

judgment of forfeiture be granted;

6. That a judgment by default be entered against any right,

title or interest of potential claimant Abdul Aziz in the

defendant properties; 

7. That a final judgment be entered, forfeiting all right,

title and interest in the defendant properties to the United

States of America, to be disposed of according to law.

8. That the Default Judgment and Final Judgment of

Forfeiture lodged herein be signed by the Honorable Frank C.

Damrell, Jr. and filed by the Clerk of the Court. 

Dated: December 6, 2007.
