Default Judgment and Final Judgment of 

Forfeiture

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff,

v.

APPROXIMATELY $7,800.00 IN U.S. 

CURRENCY,

Defendant.

No. 1:19-CV-00427-DAD-EPG

AMENDED DEFAULT JUDGMENT AND 

FINAL JUDGMENT OF FORFEITURE

This matter came before the Honorable Magistrate Erica P. Grosjean on the United States’ ex 

parte motion for default judgment. There was no appearance by or on behalf of any other persons or 

entity claiming an interest in the above-captioned defendant currency to oppose the United States’ 

motion. The magistrate judge issued findings and recommendations that the United States’ motion be 

granted. (Doc. No. 24.) On March 23, 2020, the undersigned adopted the findings and recommendations

(Doc. No. 25), and the Clerk of Court entered judgment. (Doc. No. 26.) Upon further review, it appears 

that certain necessary procedural language was omitted from the original judgment, entered March 23, 

2020. Therefore, pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 60(a), which permits the court to correct a 

mistake in a judgment arising from oversight or omission, the court amends the judgment as follows: 

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND DECREED:

1. The Magistrate Judge’s Findings and Recommendations are adopted herein.

2. Thomas Godwin and Siep San are held in default.
