ORDER

 This matter is before the Court on the plaintiff’s motion to confirm sale of the F/V LOVELY

KIMBERLY & JR. (“the Vessel”), to convey title to the Vessel, and to release the Vessel. (Doc. 23). 

The file reflects the following: that notice of the sale was properly given pursuant to Court order; that

the sale took place as ordered on the front steps of the United States Courthouse in Mobile, Alabama

at noon on May 25, 2005; that the plaintiff’s bid of $43,000.00 was the highest and best bid received;

that the plaintiff has performed the terms of the purchase;1 and that no written objection to the sale or

the sale price has been filed.

Accordingly, pursuant to Supplemental Rule E and Local Admiralty Rule 9, the motion to

confirm sale, convey title and release the Vessel is granted. The sale of the Vessel to the plaintiff is

confirmed. The Marshal is directed to execute and deliver to the plaintiff, or to any person or entity

designated by the plaintiff in writing, a Marshal’s bill of sale conveying title to the Vessel, her engines,

machines, fittings, tackle and all other appurtenances thereto belonging, free and clear of any and all

liens and encumbrances, along with all other appropriate documentation to effect a proper legal

conveyance of the Vessel. The Vessel is hereby released from seizure and court-directed

custodianship by Gazzier Shipyard, Inc. to the plaintiff or to any person or entity designated by the

plaintiff.
