The United States of America hereby requests that the Court issue an order requiring the Clerk 

of the Court to accept from the United States of America a check in the amount of ONE MILLION SIX 

HUNDRED FIFTY SIX THOUSAND DOLLARS AND 00/100 ($1,656,000.00) for deposit in the 

registry of the Court pending further order of the Court. In support whereof, the United States 

represents as follows:

1. The United States is in the process of exercising its authority to condemn and otherwise 

take property under 40 U.S.C. § 3114. Section 3114 provides that on “filing the declaration of taking 

and depositing in the court . . . the amount of estimated compensation stated in the declaration—(1) title 

to the estate or interest specified in the declaration vests in the Government; (2) the land is condemned 

and taken for the use of the Government; and (3) the right to just compensation for the land vests in the 

persons entitled to the compensation.” Hence, the United States is required to file a declaration of 

taking and deposit an amount of estimated compensation in order to comply with 40 U.S.C. § 3114.

2. Concurrently herewith, the United States is filing a Declaration of Taking pursuant to 

40 U.S.C. § 3114. 

WHEREFORE, the United States of America requests that the Court issue an order requiring 

the Clerk of the Court to accept from the United States of America a check in the amount of ONE 

MILLION SIX HUNDRED FIFTY SIX THOUSAND DOLLARS AND 00/100 ($1,656,000.00) for 

deposit in the registry of the Court pending further order of the Court.
