received a claim from Dean Wilson and Lisa Wilson (“claimants”) asserting an ownership interest in the 

defendant properties.

3. The United States represents that it could show at a forfeiture trial that Dean Wilson was 

the owner of D. Wilson Machine, Inc. (“DW Machine”), a machine and metal shop in West Sacramento, 

California. On May 4, 2013, an undercover law enforcement agent from the ATF went to DW Machine 

and observed that the above-captioned machines were being used to manufacture firearms by converting 

unfinished lower receiver blanks into finished AR-15-style lower receivers. While at DW Machine, the 

ATF undercover agent spoke to Dean Wilson. Wilson stated that he and his business partner Stephen 

Philip were converting five-to-ten blanks into lower receivers every Saturday and that they may increase 

the number because, “it’s a good money maker.” During this visit to DW Machine, the ATF undercover 

agent paid Philip $160 to convert two unfinished blanks into two AR-15-style lower receivers.

4. The United States represents that it could also show at a forfeiture trial that between May 

31, 2013, and July 2, 2013, ATF undercover agents purchased twenty AR-15 rifles from Ronald 

Quilacio. Fifteen of these firearms were short-barrel rifles with barrel lengths ranging between eight and 

ten inches long. None of these firearms were registered or contained a serial number. And no ATF 

paperwork or background checks were completed. Quilacio manufactured all twenty of these firearms 

with the assistance of Stephen Philip and Dean Wilson at DW Machine.

5. The United States could further show at a forfeiture trial that the defendant properties are

forfeitable to the United States pursuant to 26 U.S.C. § 5872.

6. Without admitting the truth of the factual assertions contained above, claimants

specifically denying the same, and for the purpose of reaching an amicable resolution and compromise of 

this matter, claimants agree that an adequate factual basis exists to support forfeiture of the defendant 

properties. Claimants acknowledge that they are the sole owners of the defendant properties, and that no 

other person or entity has any legitimate claim of interest therein. Should any person or entity institute 

any kind of claim or action against the government with regard to its forfeiture of the defendant 

properties, claimants shall hold harmless and indemnify the United States, as set forth below.

7. This Court has jurisdiction in this matter pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 1345 and 1355, as this 

is the judicial district in which acts or omissions giving rise to the forfeiture occurred.

the defendant properties were seized.

13. The United States of America and its servants, agents, and employees and all other public 

entities, their servants, agents and employees, are released from any and all liability arising out of or in 

any way connected with the seizure or forfeiture of the defendant properties. This is a full and final 

release applying to all unknown and unanticipated injuries, and/or damages arising out of said seizure or 

forfeiture, as well as to those now known or disclosed. Claimants waived the provisions of California 

Civil Code § 1542.

14. No portion of the stipulated settlement, including statements or admissions made 

therein, shall be admissible in any criminal action pursuant to Rules 408 and 410(a)(4) of the Federal 

Rules of Evidence.

15. All parties will bear their own costs and attorney’s fees.
