Opinion:
ORDER GRANTING SUMMARY JUDGMENT
GENE CARTER, Senior District Judge.
Plaintiff filed a Complaint alleging that it was entitled to foreclosure pursuant to 14 M.R.S.A. § 6321. Defendant and all the record lien holders (parties-in-interest) have been notified of this action. Defendant Julie M. Curtis and parties-in-interest Maritime Energy, William Knowlton d/b/a Bill Knowlton Water Wells, and Key Bank have all been defaulted. See Docket Item No. 18. Now before the Court is Plain tiffs Motion for Summary Judgment (Docket Item No. 24) against parties-in-interest Maine State Housing Authority, Penobscot Bay Medical Center, and Harp-ster Receivables Management Corporation. Maine State Housing Authority filed a response to Plaintiffs Motion for Summary Judgment in order to correct a typographical error in Plaintiffs Statement of Material Facts. See Opposing Statement of Material Facts (Docket Item No. 28). None of these parties-in-interest raise any issues of fact regarding Plaintiffs entitlement to have its motion granted.
UNDISPUTED MATERIAL FACTS
The entry of default against Defendant establishes the following facts from Plaintiffs Complaint. In re The Home Rests., Inc., 285 F.3d 111, 114 (1st Cir.2002) ("There is no question that, default having been entered, each of plaintiffs allegations of fact must be taken as true and each of its claims must be considered established as a matter of law.") (citation and internal punctuation omitted). On or about November 7, 1986, Scottie L. Curtis and Julie M. Curtis ("the Curtises") obtained a loan from the United States Government in the amount of $53,600.00. The loan was evidenced by a Promissory Note of even date and amount, to be repaid according to the terms set out therein. See Complaint Ex. A. To secure the repayment of said indebtedness, the Curtises on- the same day, duly executed, acknowledged, and delivered to the United States Government a Real Estate Mortgage whereby they granted, bargained and sold to the Government the subject premises. The subject Mortgage was duly recorded in the Knox County Registry of Deeds in Book 1132, Page 287. See Complaint Ex. B. On September 25, 1986, the Curtises executed a Subsidy Repayment Agreement. See Complaint Ex. C.
On or about May 7, 1987, the Curtises obtained a loan from the United States Government in the amount of $8,000.00. This loan was evidenced by a Promissory Note of even date and amount, to be repaid according to the terms set out therein. See Complaint Ex. D. To secure the repayment of said indebtedness and other purposes, on the same day the Curtises duly executed, acknowledged, and delivered to the United States Government a certain Real Estate Mortgage, which was duly recorded in the Knox County Registry of Deeds in Book 1174, Page 131. See Complaint Ex. E.
The subject Promissory Notes were rea-mortized by virtue of a number of Reamor-tization and/or Deferral Agreements that are executed by each of the Curtises and are dated:
(1) March 7, 1992, see Complaint Exs. F and G;
(2) June 7, 1995, see Complaint Exs. H and I;
(3) November 10, 1998, see Complaint Exs. J and K; and
(4) October 10, 2000, see Complaint Exs. L and M.
On November 1, 2003, Scottie L. Curtis died and Julie M. Curtis is now the sole owner of the described property. See Complaint Ex. P (Supplemental Certificate of Death). The Promissory Notes were reamortized once again by virtue of Rea-mortization and/or Deferral Agreements dated March 10, 2005, which are executed by Julie M. Curtis. See Complaint Exs. N and O.
The Promissory Notes and Reamortization Agreements provide that failure to make payments when due or to perform any other agreement contained therein shall constitute default on any instrument securing or otherwise relating to such debt; and on any other instrument evi dencing a debt of the borrower owed to or insured by the United States Government, and that a default under any other such instrument shall constitute a default under said Promissory Notes and Reamortization Agreements. Julie M. Curtis failed to comply with the provisions and conditions of the said Promissory Notes, Reamortization Agreements, and Real Estate Mortgages by failing to make payments of principal and interest when due, and by failing to make payments of taxes when due, thus making it necessary for the Plaintiff to pay the same to protect its interest.
With respect to the parties-in-interest, the record establishes that the following parties have recorded liens against the subject property that are subordinate to Plaintiffs interest:
(1) Maritime Energy's lien on the property dated February 1, 1991, and recorded on February 18, 1991 in the Knox County Registry of Deeds in Book 1477, Page 163, see Complaint ¶ 18 and Ex. R;

CONCLUSION
The entry of default against Defendant establishes Plaintiffs entitlement to foreclosure. There being no disputed issues of material fact in the summary judgment record regarding the parties-in-interest Maine State Housing Authority, Penobscot Bay Medical Center, and Harpster Receivables Management Corporation, Plaintiff is entitled to Summary Judgment on its claim of priority over the liens of those parties-in-interest.
Accordingly, it is ORDERED that Plaintiffs Motion for Summary Judgment be, and it is hereby, GRANTED as against the parties-in-interest Maine State Hous ing Authority, Penobscot Bay Medical Center, and Harpster Receivables Management Corporation. It is further ORDERED that Plaintiff file a proposed Judgment of Foreclosure and Sale within thirty (30) days of the date of this Order setting forth the liens of the parties-in-interest in order of priority and the amounts owed on each lien. Before filing the proposed Judgment of Foreclosure and Sale, Plaintiff and the parties-in-interest shall attempt to come to agreement on the order of priority of each lien and the amount owed on each lien. If Plaintiff and the parties-in-interest are unable to come to agreement such disagreement should be noted by filing an objection to the proposed Judgment of Foreclosure and Sale to be filed by Plaintiff.
