immediately prior to the deposit with the Court of the United
States' estimate of just compensation.

Prairie Land has not withdrawn any portion of the deposited
estimate of just compensation during the pendency of this
action. Accordingly, the full deposited amount of $45,

disclaimed any interest in the proceeds of this case and

order to resolve this condemnation proceeding, the parties
agree that the just compensation payable by the United States

and appurtenances thereunto belonging, shall be the sum of
$45, 000.00 inclusive of interest, attorney's fees, and
costs.

JUDGMENT shall be, and is hereby, entered against the United
States in the amount of $45, 000.00.

and in full satisfaction of any and all claims of whatsoever
nature against the United States by reason of the institution
