The Court, having reviewed the United States' Motion, as well as the other pleadings and papers filed in this matter, hereby FINDS entry of a Final Order of Forfeiture is appropriate for the following reasons:

• The time for filing third-party claims has expired, and no such claims were filed for the Subject Property.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE COURT ORDERS:
1. No right, title, or interest in the Subject Property exists in any party other than the United States;
2. The Subject Property is fully and finally condemned and forfeited, in its entirety, to the United States; and
3. The United States Department of Justice, Federal Bureau of Investigation, and/or their representatives, are authorized to dispose of the Subject Property as permitted by governing law.
