September 3, 2010 Opinion or Order Filing 82 ORDER granting in part and denying in part 66 the United States's Motion for Summary Judgment. The Court makes the following rulings: the Court has subject matter jurisdiction in this case; the United Statess claims are not b arred by the doctrine of claim preclusion; the Golden Light Ministry was Joseph Buaiz's alter ego; the federal tax lien filed on July 31, 1997 attached to Joseph Buaiz's "property" and "rights to property," which include s any property interest he has in the Rocky Springs Property; the parties are ORDERED to brief the Court on: (1) what type of property interests Joseph Buaiz and Bonnie Buaiz (now her heirs ) had, and/or currently have, in the Rocky Springs Property; (2) what type of future property interest, if any, Joseph Buaiz has in the Rocky Springs Property; and (3) what effect, if any, Bonnie Buaiz's death has on the United States's ability to foreclose upon the Rocky Springs Property. The brief s are due by NOVEMBER 29, 2010. Assuming that Joseph Buaiz has a property interest in the Rocky Springs Property, the parties are ORDERED to brief the Court, in applying the factors set forth in United States v. Rodgers, 461 U.S. 677, 710-11 (1983), as to whether the Rocky Springs Property should be sold in a foreclosure sale pursuant to 26 U.S.C. § 7403(c). The briefs are due by NOVEMBER 29, 2010.

In addition, Bonnie Buaiz is HEREBY REMOVED AS A DEFENDANT. Finally, because the only remaining issue in this case involves whether a foreclosure sale is appropriate, the final pretrial conference date of September 28, 2010, and the trial date of October 5, 2010, ARE HEREBY CANCELED.
