PER CURIAM:* The judgment of the district court is affirmed for these reasons. * Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR. R. 47.5.4. Case: 11-51158 Document: 00511951195 Page: 2 Date Filed: 08/09/2012 No. 11-51158 The bankruptcy proceeding is of no consequence now because the appellants agreed to the sale of the real property and to the holding of the proceeds by the Marshall until resolved by the court. Appellants failed to answer timely the claim and to answer the forfeiture action by denying all essential allegations. No justification has been made for the late filing. The court s strike of the claims of the appellants was not an abuse of discretion, and the order and judgment were therefore legally correct. The claims of all parties were resolved and the judgment was final. AFFIRMED. 2
