HONORABLE JOHN A. MENDEZ, SENIOR UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
Based upon the guilty plea entered by defendant Brian Raymond Scheckla and the Stipulation and Application for a Preliminary Order of Forfeiture, it is hereby ORDERED, ADJUDGED and DECREED
1. Pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 924d1 and 28 U.S.C. § 2461c, defendant Brian Raymond Scheckla's interest in the firearms listed in Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein is hereby condemned and forfeited to the United States, to be disposed of according to law.
2. The firearms listed in Exhibit A attached hereto constitute firearms involved in or used in the knowing and willful commission of a violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922a1A.
3. The defendant waived oral pronouncement of forfeiture at the time of sentencing and any defects in such pronouncement that pertain to forfeiture and waived any defenses to forfeiture.
4. Pursuant to Rule 32.2b3, the Attorney General or a designee shall be authorized to seize the firearms listed in Exhibit A attached hereto. The aforementioned property shall be seized and held by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, in its secure custody and control.
5. a. Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2461c, incorporating 21 U.S.C. § 853n, and Local Rule 171, the United States shall publish notice of the order of forfeiture. Notice of this Order and notice of the Attorney General's or a designee's intent to dispose of the property in such manner as the Attorney General may direct shall be posted for at least 30 consecutive days on the official internet government forfeiture site www.forfeiture.gov. The United States may also, to the extent practicable, provide direct written notice to any person known to have alleged an interest in the property that is the subject of the order of forfeiture as a substitute for published notice as to those persons so notified.
b. This notice shall state that any person, other than the defendant, asserting a legal interest in the firearms listed in Exhibit A attached hereto, must file a petition with the Court within sixty 60 days from the first day of publication of the Notice of Forfeiture posted on the official government forfeiture site, or within thirty 30 days from receipt of direct written notice, whichever is earlier.
6. If a petition is timely filed, upon adjudication of all third-party interests, if any, this Court will enter a Final Order of Forfeiture pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 924d1 and 28 U.S.C. § 2461c, in which all interests will be addressed.
7. After entry of the Final Order of Forfeiture in this case, the United States shall consign the remaining firearms listed in the forfeiture allegation to a federally-licensed firearms dealer to be sold on the defendant's behalf. All the remaining firearms shall be sold to an independent third-party. The defendant agreed that he or anyone on his behalf will not attempt to purchase any of the firearms. The defendant will retain the proceeds from the sale of the firearms.
SO ORDERED.
