claimants Christopher Zubiate and Lynda Kaufmann in the defendant property referenced in the above 

caption and more fully described in Exhibit A attached hereto;

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

property 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 Troy L. Nunley and filed by the Clerk of the Court.
