“(1) If, within 30 days after the date the foreign judgment is recorded, the judgment
debtor files an action contesting the jurisdiction of the court which entered the
foreign judgment or the validity of the foreign judgment and records a lis pendens
directed toward the foreign judgment, the court shall stay enforcement of the foreign
judgment and the judgment lien upon the filing of the action by the judgment debtor.
(2) If the judgment debtor shows the circuit or county court any ground upon
which enforcement of a judgment of any circuit or county court of this state would be
stayed, the court shall stay enforcement of the foreign judgment for an appropriate
period, upon requiring the same security for satisfaction of the judgment which is
required in this state.”
Here, Defendant “land parcel” Forger and Racketeer Kenneth M. Wilkinson, Lee County
Appraiser’s Office, had fraudulently pretended
a. a falsified foreign or out-of-Florida “July 29, 2009 judgment”, Doc. ## 386, 432;
b. unauthorized recordation of a fake “July judgment” in Lee County Circuit Court;
c. a falsified “writ of execution” illegally issued by the Clerk of U.S. District Court.
2. Here, the U.S. District Court, Middle Division of Florida:
a. had no jurisdiction;
b. had no authority to enforce the fake foreign judgment;
c. had no authority to issue the falsified writ of execution, Doc. # 425, Case 2:07-cv-00228.
Here, the Defendant Clerk of U.S. District Court had no authority to enforce the facially
forged and falsified out-of-Florida judgment and/or “July 29, 2009 judgment”. Here, said
U.S. Clerk could not have possibly enforced the fake out-of-Florida foreign judgment
“recorded” by the Clerk of Florida or Lee County Circuit Court.
“A foreign judgment does not operate as a lien until 30 days after the mailing of
notice by the clerk…”
Here, the Clerk had never “mailed” any “notice” of the facially forged judgment, and the
fake foreign judgment could not have possibly “operated as a lien”.
Here, Plaintiff(s) had contested the “validity of the [facially forged] foreign judgment” and
filed an action directed toward the prima facie fraudulent foreign judgment. Here, the Court
shall stay enforcement of the fake foreign judgment and the facially forged judgment lien,
§ 55.509, Florida Statutes.
7. Here within hours, Defendant Moody fixed and conspired to fix Plaintiff record public
corruption victims’ Case and fraudulently and falsely pretended to have reviewed
a. “four years” of “proceedings”;
b. “eleven actions”;
c. “hundreds, if not thousands, of filings”;
d. “appeals, up to 20 in one case alone”;
e. falsified “adoption” of a fake “1969” “resolution”.

8. Here, no fit, honest, intelligent, and reasonable judge or person in Defendant Moody’s shoes
could have possibly reviewed said alleged hundreds/thousands of “filings”, “eleven actions”
… and Plaintiffs’ highly meritorious and conclusively proven allegations within hours.
PRIMA FACIE ARBITRARY, CAPRICIOUS, AND MALICIOUS JUDICIAL TRASH
9. Here another bungling Government idiot, Def. Judge Moody, copied and pasted
“repetitive” and “incomprehensible” judicial trash, Doc. # 22, which on its very face was,
e.g.:
a. “patently frivolous”; “baseless”;
b. absurd; idiotic; “abusive”;
c. irrational; unintelligent;
d. corrupted and “vexatious”;
e. arbitrary, capricious, and malicious;
f. premeditated and reckless.
Here, Crook Moody “impacted the resources” of the Court(s) and further tarnished its
publicly recorded reputation of organized crime and corruption, 28 U.S.C. § 455.

e.g., Joel F. Dubina, Charlene E. Honeywell, Sheri Polster Chappell, Gerald B.

(1) Decisional, constitutional, and public statutory law and resolutions of the Florida
Legislature and the Congress of the United States.
Here, the U.S. Courts shall take judicial notice of Chapter 712, Florida Statutes, Florida’s
self-enforcing Marketable Record Title Act. Here as a matter of law, Chapter 712, Florida
Statutes, governed supremely and superseded the facially falsified and forged
“resolution”, scam “O.R. 569/875”. Here, Defendants Lee County, FL, had no authority to
pervert Florida law.
JUDICIAL NOTICE OF IMPOSSIBILITY OF involuntary alienation by “resolution”
22. Here, the U.S. Courts shall take judicial notice of Chapters 73, 74, EMINENT DOMAIN,
and 95, ADVERSE POSSESSION. Here as a matter of law, said Statutory Chapters governed
supremely and superseded the facially falsified and forged “adoption”-“resolution”-scam
“O.R. 569/875”. Here, the Government Defendants and Officials had no authority to pervert
Florida law.
EXPRESS FLORIDA STATUTORY PROHIBITIONS, CH. 73, 74, 95, FLA. STAT.
23. Here, Florida Statutes, law, and Constitution expressly prohibited any and all involuntary
alienation. See, e.g., Ch. 73, 74, EMINENT DOMAIN; Ch. 95, ADVERSE POSSESSION.
Any involuntary alienation would have strictly and necessarily been a judicial function.
Here, it was elementary that no “legislative act” could have possibly divested the Plaintiffs
of their Lot 15A against their will. Here, the public record, Doc. # 22, established Defendant
Moody as a bungling Government idiot and crook, who disrespected and perverted the law
for criminal and illegal purposes of cover-up and fraudulent concealment.
JUDICIAL NOTICE OF CH. 55, § 55.10, F.S., FLORIDA FOREIGN JUDGMENT ACT
24. Here in violation of § 55.10, Florida Statutes, there were
a. No Florida judgment;
b. No U.S. District Court judgment;
c. No “July 29 judgment”;
d. No domesticated judgment;
e. No “simultaneous” valid affidavit, § 55.10, F.S.;
f. No curative affidavit.
Here, the U.S. Courts shall take judicial notice of Chapter 55, § 55.10, Florida Statutes,
and Florida’s Foreign Judgment Act.
6
29. Here, nothing could have possibly become a “lien” on any real property of Dr. Jorg Busse.
30. Here, no Florida Court had ever issued any writ of execution.
JUDICIAL NOTICE OF CH. 695, PRIMA FACIE SCAM & SHAM “claim O.R. 569/875”
31. Here, the U.S. Courts shall take judicial notice of Chapter 695, § 695.26, Florida Statutes,
Requirements for Recording instruments affecting real property, and § 695.09, F.S., Identity
of grantor. Here, Defendants Lee County, FL, had no authority to pervert Florida law.
Here, prima facie scam and sham “claim” “O.R. 569/875” could not have possibly “affected
real property”, because it was null and void and violated the Florida Constitution Statutes.
32. § 695.09, F.S., Identity of grantor, states:
“No acknowledgment or proof shall be taken, except as set forth in s. 695.03(3), by
any officer within or without the United States unless the officer knows, or has
satisfactory proof, that the person making the acknowledgment is the individual
described in, and who executed, such instrument or that the person offering to make
proof is one of the subscribing witnesses to such instrument.”
7
36. Here, Def. Moody’s “order”, Doc. # 22, was “patently frivolous, baseless, vexatious, and
harassing”. No intelligent, fit, and honest judge or person in Defendant J. S. Moody’s shoes
could have possibly determined any
a. Lot 15A “claim as public land” in violation of, e.g., Chapters 712, 73, 74, 95 Fla.
Statutes;
b. “resolution”;
c. “adoption” of any resolution;
d. any transfer of title to Lee County from Plaintiffs to Lee County against Plaintiffs’ will;
e. any transfer of title by any legislative act, resolution, or law, whatsoever.
“Facts that are not subject to dispute because they are capable of accurate and
ready determination by resort to sources whose accuracy cannot be questioned.”
8
41. Here, absolute power produced absolute judicial & Government corruption and the
publicly recorded perpetration of fraud upon the Courts.
42. The procedural and substantive rules prohibited Defendant Moody from fixing the Case
based upon the perversion of conclusive public record evidence.
CONSPIRACY TO RACKETEER, EXTORT, RETALIATE, AND DEFRAUD
43. Defendant Crooked U.S. Judge James S. Moody, Jr., conspired with other Officials,
Defendants, and Government gang members to racketeer, retaliate, obstruct justice, and
extort money and Lot 15A, Cayo Costa, from the Plaintiff indisputable record land owners.
DEF. MOODY FRAUDULENTLY CONCEALED PLAINTIFFS’ RECORD TITLE
“At the heart of each case, Plaintiffs allege that they are the owners of Lot 15A in the
Cayo Costa subdivision of Lee County, Florida. Plaintiffs attempt to challenge a
resolution adopted in December 1969 by the Board of Commissioners of Lee County,
Florida, where Lot 15A, among other property, was claimed as public land.”
9
“judgment” in the record absence of any authority and jurisdiction. Here, Defendant Crook
Moody had no authority to break Florida law on the record and perpetrate Government
crimes under color of office.
DECEPTION, TRICKERY, FRAUD; LACK OF RECORD OF ANY “claim”
48. § 695.26, Requirements for recording instruments affecting real property, provides:
(1) No instrument by which the title to real property or any interest therein is
conveyed, assigned, encumbered, or otherwise disposed of shall be recorded by
the clerk of the circuit court unless:
(a) The name of each person who executed such instrument is legibly printed,
typewritten, or stamped upon such instrument immediately beneath the signature
of such person and the post-office address of each such person is legibly printed,
typewritten, or stamped upon such instrument;
(b) The name and post-office address of the natural person who prepared the
instrument or under whose supervision it was prepared are legibly printed,
typewritten, or stamped upon such instrument;
(c) The name of each witness to the instrument is legibly printed, typewritten, or
stamped upon such instrument immediately beneath the signature of such witness;
(d) The name of any notary public or other officer authorized to take
acknowledgments or proofs whose signature appears upon the instrument is
legibly printed, typewritten, or stamped upon such instrument immediately
beneath the signature of such notary public or other officer authorized to take
acknowledgment or proofs;
(e) A 3-inch by 3-inch space at the top right-hand corner on the first page and a 1-
inch by 3-inch space at the top right-hand corner on each subsequent page are
reserved for use by the clerk of the court; and
(f) In any instrument other than a mortgage conveying or purporting to convey
any interest in real property, the name and post-office address of each
grantee in such instrument are legibly printed, typewritten, or stamped upon
such instrument.
History. s. 1, ch. 90-183; ss. 8, 22, ch. 94-348; s. 773, ch. 97-102.
49. Here, Defendant Corrupt Judge Moody knew, concealed, and conspired to fraudulently
conceal that
a. No “claim” had ever legally existed;
b. No “claim” had ever been legally recorded;
c. No “claim” could have possibly ever legally existed;
d. Any and all “claims” had been extinguished and barred, Ch. 712, 95, Fla. Stat.
10
“Plaintiff Busse was sanctioned $5,000 but refused to pay.”
Here, Defendant Racketeer Moody knew and fraudulently concealed that Defendant
Kenneth M. Wilkinson had never incurred actual and necessary attorney’s fees in the
facially falsified amount of “$5,000”. In June 2009, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th
Circuit had lost “jurisdiction”. Here, Def. Moody conspired with Def. Wilkinson and other
Officials to falsify a fake “July 29 judgment” and alter the official records.
51. Here, Dr. Jorg Busse had paid the final money judgment in the amount of “$24.30” for
“copies” issued as mandate in June 2009, Case No. 2:2007-cv-00228.
52. Here just like a bungling Government crook and idiot, Defendant Moody covered up,
concealed the truth, and obstructed justice for publicly recorded criminal purposes of
extortion and racketeering.
53. Here, Def. Moody knew that frivolity had never been any issue, whatsoever, as publicly
recorded and conclusively evidenced by the Opinion, Judgment, and Mandate in said Case.
“A court shall take judicial notice of any matter in § 90.202 when a party requests it..”
Here for years, the Plaintiff exclusive indisputable record owners of Lot 15A, Cayo Costa,
PB 3, PG 25 (1912) had requested the Federal Courts to take judicial notice of the matter
and issue of their record unencumbered and perfected ownership and title, 12-44-20-01-
00015.015A.
DEFENDANT CROOKED JUDGE MOODY’S SHAM “order”, DOC. # 22
55. Here on its face, Defendant Crooked Judge Moody’s sham “order”, Doc. # 22, was
a. Controverted by Plaintiffs’ publicly recorded indisputable title to Lot 15A;
b. Controverted by Plaintiffs’ publicly recorded property tax payments;
c. Facially incomprehensible and baseless;
d. Arbitrary, capricious, and malicious;
e. Idiotic and irrational.
11
AS A MATTER OF LAW, ANY AND ALL CLAIMS HAD BEEN BARRED, CH. 712, F.S.
59. As a matter of law, Ch. 712, Fla. Stat., had extinguished any and all “claims” against Lot
15A, Cayo Costa.
60. In “1969”, the fabricated date of the fictitious “resolution”, the statute of limitations for
any and all “claims” had expired. Here, more than thirty (30) years had passed since the root
title to Lot 15A, which had barred any and all “claims”. Period.
61. Here, Lee County, FL, had never “claimed” anything, and no authentic record of any “claim”
had ever legally existed or had ever been legally recorded.
FALSIFIED “claim”, “O.R. 569/875” WAS LEGALLY ABSOLUTELY IMPOSSIBLE
62. Here as a matter of law:
a. No “resolution” could have possibly involuntarily divested the Plaintiffs of their Lot 15A;
b. No “law” could have possibly involuntarily divested the Plaintiffs of their Lot 15A;
c. Any involuntarily alienation would have necessarily been a judicial function;
d. Plaintiffs were the indisputable record owners, Lot 15A, Cayo Costa;
e. Plaintiffs were the unimpeachable title holders, Lot 15A;
f. Plaintiffs’ said record ownership was capable of accurate and ready determination;
g. Plaintiffs’ said record title, Lot 15A, was capable of accurate & ready determination;
h. Defendant Moody fabricated and conspired to falsify an incomprehensible “claim”.
(a) In General.
(1) Money Judgment; Applicable Procedure.
A money judgment is enforced by a writ of execution, unless the court directs
otherwise. The procedure on execution — and in proceedings supplementary to and
in aid of judgment or execution — must accord with the procedure of the state where
the court is located, but a federal statute governs to the extent it applies.
(2) Obtaining Discovery.
In aid of the judgment or execution, the judgment creditor or a successor in interest
whose interest appears of record may obtain discovery from any person — including
the judgment debtor — as provided in these rules or by the procedure of the state
where the court is located.
12
65. Here, the prima facie criminality, illegality, and nullity of the fake “5,048.60 judgment”,
Doc. ## 386, 432, fake “writ of execution”, Doc. # 425, fake “legislative act”, fake
“resolution 569/875” were capable of accurate and ready determination by resort to sources
whose accuracy cannot be questioned.
were absolutely mandatory, 28 U.S.C. § 455. Def. Moody fraudulently concealed and
conspired to conceal the prima criminality, illegality, and nullity of a falsified $5,048.60
judgment, fake lien, and fraudulent execution and enforcement for criminal purposes of,
(a) Grounds. Any party may move to disqualify the judge assigned to the action on
the grounds provided by statute.
(b) Contents. A motion to disqualify shall allege the facts relied on to show the
grounds for disqualification and shall be verified by the party.
(c) Time. A motion to disqualify shall be made within a reasonable time after
discovery of the facts constituting grounds for disqualification.
(d) Determination. The judge against whom the motion is directed shall determine
only the legal sufficiency of the motion. The judge shall not pass on the truth of the
facts alleged. If the motion is legally sufficient, the judge shall enter an order of
disqualification and proceed no further in the action.
(e) Judge's Initiative. Nothing in this rule limits a judge's authority to enter an order of
disqualification on the judge's own initiative.
Committee Note: The rule is intended to unify the procedure for disqualification.
(b) Parties. Any party, including the state, may move to disqualify the trial judge
assigned to the case on grounds provided by rule, by statute, or by the Code of
Judicial Conduct.
13
(3) be sworn to by the party by signing the motion under oath or by a separate
affidavit;”
4. Section 38.10 gives parties the right to move to disqualify a judge when the party fears that
“he or she will not receive a fair trial . . . on account of the prejudice of the judge of that
court against the applicant or in favor of the adverse party.” Fla. Stat. § 38.10. Rule of
Judicial Administration 2.330 specifies that a motion to disqualify must show that “the party
fears that he or she will not receive a fair trial or hearing because of specifically described
Here, Plaintiffs have been “stating fear that they have not and will not receive a fair trial in
the court where the suit is pending on account of the prejudice of the Judge(s) of that court
[James S. Moody, Jr.; Charlene Edwards Honeywell; John E. Steele; Sheri Polster
Chappell; Richard A. Lazzara] against the applicants. Here, objectively biased and bribed
Judge Moody “shall proceed no further, but another judge shall be designated in the
manner prescribed by the laws of this state for the substitution of judges for the trial of

6. If the judge denies a motion to disqualify brought under § 38.10 the movant has the right to
appeal. Lynch v. State, ___ So. 2d ___, Nos. SC06-2233, SC07-1246, 2008 WL 4809783, at
*26 (Fla. Nov. 6, 2008). As the Florida Supreme Court recently held: “A motion to
Defendant objectively partial Judge Honeywell are citing 28 U.S.C. § 455, § 38.10 and Rule
7. The Florida Supreme Court has also held, in effect, that § 38.10 and the Canons require the
same thing. See Livingston v. State, 441 So. 2d 1083, 1086 (Fla. 1983). In Livingston the
court cited the Canon’s requirement that a judge disqualify himself when his “impartiality
might reasonably be questioned” and concluded that it was “totally consistent” with Florida
case law applying § 38.10. Id. Both require disqualification when a party can show “a well
grounded fear that he will not receive a fair trial at the hands of the judge.” Id. (quoting State
ex rel. Brown v. Dewell, 179 So. 695, 697-98 (Fla. 1938)); see also Berry v. Berry, 765 So.
2d 855, 857 (Fla. 5th DCA 2000) (quoting Canon 3E(1) when describing the standard for
granting a motion under § 38.10). Here of course, this Court was bound to follow Florida
appellate court decisions interpreting that state’s law. The final arbiter of state law is the
state Supreme Court, which is another way of saying that Florida law is what the Florida
8. Here in particular, Def. Moody concocted and conspired to concoct a “resolution 569/875”,
“claim” of Lot 15A, “law”, “legislative act” for criminal and illegal purposes of, e.g.,
racketeering, retaliation, and extortion of Plaintiffs’ land and money. Here, Def. Moody
15
perpetrated fraud upon the Court(s), and the Plaintiffs could not possibly get a fair, just, and
speedy trial because of Def. Moody’s publicly recorded lies, corruption, bribery,
9. The Florida Supreme Court has adopted a Code of Judicial Conduct to govern the actions
of state court judges and candidates for judicial office. Canon 3E(1) states, e.g.:
(1) A judge shall disqualify himself or herself in a proceeding in which the judge’s
impartiality might reasonably be questioned, including but not limited to instances
where …
Those provisions address situations in which a judge must disqualify himself because his
statement that commits, or appears to commit, the judge with respect to” a particular party,
10. Here in exchange for bribes, Def. Moody had made facially idiotic public statements that
committed Honeywell to the fabrication of a fake “resolution 569/875” and illegal benefits
for the Defendants at Plaintiffs’ expense and injury. Here, Moody fraudulently concealed
and conspired with other Def. Government Crooks to conceal the particular issues of, e.g.,
fake “park”, a fake “writ of execution”, Doc. # 425, 2:2007-cv-00228, a fake “$5,048.60
judgment”. Here, Plaintiffs lived in fear of being kicked down the Courthouse stairs and not
receiving a fair trial at the dirty hands of bribed and crooked Judge Moody.
11. Canon 3E(1), backed by the threat of a disciplinary proceeding, requires a judge to
disqualify himself if his “impartiality might reasonably be questioned.” Fla. Stat. § 38.10,
16
supplemented by Rule 2.330, allows a party to have a judge disqualified for the same reason.
Canon 3E(1)(f), which the Florida Supreme Court adopted in January 2006, covers areas in
Code of Judicial Conduct, 918 So. 2d 949 (Fla. 2006). In addition to the Florida Supreme
Court, the Judicial Ethics Advisory Committee (Ethics Committee) and the Judicial
Qualifications Commission (JQC) have roles in administering the Code. The Florida
Supreme Court established the Ethics Committee “to render written advisory opinions to
inquiring judges concerning the propriety of contemplated judicial and non-judicial conduct.”
Petition of Comm. on Standards of Conduct for Judges, 327 So. 2d 5, 5 (Fla. 1976). Here,
Def. Judge Moody’s fabrications and perversions of the law were reckless and for criminal
purposes. Canon 3E is enforced by the Judicial Qualifications Commission, which has the
12. Here under 28 U.S.C. § 455, Plaintiffs have been specifically alleging the above facts and
reasons upon which the movants rely as the grounds for Defendant Judge Moody’s
disqualification/recusal. Here, Defendant Moody has been silencing and shutting up the
Plaintiffs without any authority and for criminal purposes of cover up and concealment of
organized Government crimes. See, e.g., Def. Moody’s and Honeywell’s facially
13. Here, the Plaintiff Government racketeering & corruption victims had well grounded
fears that they will not receive a fair trial at the hands of Defendant objectively partial and
bribed Judge Moody, who fraudulently concealed said fabrications of, e.g.:
a. Fake “judgment”;
17
b. Fake “writ of execution”;
d. Fake park.
68. In Florida, a lien is not any conveyance of the legal title or of the right of possession, §
697.02, F.S. The [hypothetical] execution of any [hypothetical] lien would not destroy any
of the unities. Therefore, the joint tenancy and the right of survivorship could not have
possibly been destroyed…

States, 339 F.2d 82 (8th Cir. 1964); see, also, United States v. Branch Coal Corp., 390 F.2d 7 (3d
Cir. 1968).
In Florida, Florida Statutes § 56.21 governs notice of sales of realty under execution
sales. It states in pertinent part that a public sale of realty requires "Notice [...] given by
advertisement once each week for 4 successive weeks in a news paper published in the county in
Wilkinson perfected his judgment lien on the Property on November 18, 2009, by
recording a certified copy of the Judgment (see Exhibit A) and recording an Affidavit containing
the address of the judgment holder in the Official Records of Lee County, Florida (see Exhibit
B). This Court issued the Writ of Execution on February 2, 2010, and the U.S. Marshal Service
served the Writ of Execution personally on Busse on February 8, 2010, and levied upon and
posted the Writ of Execution on the Property on April 4, 2010. Upon levy of the Property,
Wilkinson is entitled to entry of an order directing the public sale of the Property in accordance

Pursuant to Florida Statutes, § 56.21, the sale shall take place at the time, date, and place
advertised in a notice published once a week for four successive weeks in a newspaper published
in the county in which the sale is to take place, namely in Lee County, Florida.
On or before the date of first publication of the notice of sale, Wilkinson shall provide
notice of the sale to Busse by certified mail in accordance with Florida Statutes, § 56.21.
In executing against the Property, Wilkinson is entitled to collect against Busse's interest
as a joint tenant in such Property. The joint tenancy formed between the owners of the Cayo
Costa parcel is severed by enforcement of the judgment lien against the Property. See, McDowell
v. Trailer Ranch, Inc., 421 So.2d 751 (Fla. 4th DCA, 1982). In McDowell, a parcel of real
property owned by three joint tenants was found to be subject to execution . The 4th DCA, citing
noted:
There is simply no merit to appellant's position that his interest is not subject to
execution. While there is no case in Florida directly on point, a plethora of
authority throughout the country exists in support of our conclusion.
See, Jamestown Terminal Elevator, Inc. v. Knopp, 246 N.W.2d 612, 614 (N.D. 1976) (severance
of a joint tenancy interest in real property may be accomplished by ... sale under execution upon a
judgment lien); In Re Larendon's Estate, 439 Pa. 535, 266 A.2d 763, 42 A.L.R.3d 1107 (1970)
(sale upon execution of judgment against one joint tenant effects an involuntary severance of the
joint tenancy). See also, 12 Fla.Jur.2d Cotenancy and Partition § 8 (1979) (a tenancy in common
will come to an end upon its conveyance, voluntary or otherwise, to a stranger or third party);
Frederick v. Shorman, 259 Iowa 1050, 147 N.W.2d 478 (1966) (levy and sale upon execution of
interest of one joint tenant operates as severance of joint tenancy and purchaser at sale becomes

As Judgment Creditor, Wilkinson is entitled to credit bid its judgment at any public sale.
See Flagship State Bank of Jacksonville v. Carantzas, 352 So.2d 1259 (Fla. 1st DCA 1977); see
also Overholser v. Walsh & Nottlebaum, 362 So.2d 471 (Fla. 3d DCA 1978). Therefore,
Wilkinson requests that it be entitled to credit bid its judgment, namely Five Thousand Forty-
Eight Dollars and Sixty Cents ($5,048.60), plus costs incident to the issuance and service of the
Writ of Execution and the attendant levy and sale of the assets seized therewith, plus accrued and
further accruing interest at the rate as allowed by law, at the public sale.
