Therefore, pursuant to the Bankruptcy Court’s “ORDER GRANTING TRUSTEE’S MOTION TO AUTHORIZE SALE OF PROPERTY OF THE ESTATE FREE AND CLEAR OF LIENS, CLAIMS, INTERESTS AND ENCUMBRANCES PURSUANT TO SECTION 363(F) OF THE BANKRUPTCY CODE” entered on April 13, 2021 (Docket 80) and other orders entered on that same date, Trustee has entered into a contract to sell the Real Estate, subject to any competing offers that may be made as provided below, free and clear of liens, claims and encumbrances, if any, of:

as well as any other person served with the Trustee’s Motion.

The Court has reviewed the offer made by Ivan Diaz to purchase the Real Estate for $685,000 pursuant to the terms of a Settlement Agreement approved by the Court and the Real Estate Contract appended thereto and will consider that offer at a hearing to be held on August 3, 2021 (or on a date prior thereto, as noted below), subject to any competing offers made after the Real Estate is offered for sale for one week in the auction pages of The Chicago Tribune.
