If sealed bids are received within the prescribed time, a hearing before the Court will be convened on Tuesday, November 7, at 11:00 a.m. in Courtroom #4, Moakley Courthouse, at which time the sealed bids will be opened and verified. Parties submitting sealed bids at the hearing held on Tuesday, November 7, 2017, shall be prepared to present at that hearing a certified check for ten percent (10%) of their bid price payable to United States Marshal for the District of Massachusetts.

In default of any bid in excess of the highest sealed bid and provided the entire purchase price in certified funds is received within two business days after the hearing, the sale to the highest bidder will be confirmed. If the entire purchase price is not received within the prescribed time, the vessel will be sold to the next highest bidder, provided that bidder delivers the requisite funds within two business days thereafter.
