SHERI POLSTER CHAPPELL, UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
Before the Court, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 924(d)(1), 28 U.S.C. § 2461(c), and Rule 32.2(b)(2), Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, is the United States' March 21, 2022 Motion for Preliminary Order of Forfeiture, seeking forfeiture of Defendant Serdarryel Dave English, Jr.'s interest in a Smith and Wesson firearm (S/N ECA0892), and approximately five rounds of Hornady ammunition. (Doc. 53).
Defendant Serdarryel Dave English, Jr. pleaded guilty to Count One of the Indictment which charged the defendant with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, a violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1). (Doc. 50). On March 21, 2022, the undersigned United States District Judge accepted English's plea and adjudicated him guilty of the offense charged in Count One of the Indictment. (Doc. 52). The defendant's sentencing hearing is currently scheduled for June 21, 2022, at 9:30am. (Docs. 52; 54).
The United States has established the required connection between the crime of conviction and the assets. Because the United States is entitled to forfeit the property, the Motion for Preliminary Order of Forfeiture (Doc. 53), is GRANTED.
It is FURTHER ORDERED, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 924(d)(1), 28 U.S.C. § 2461(c), and Rule 32.2(b)(2), Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, that the firearm and ammunition described above are FORFEITED to the United States of America for disposition according to law.
The Court retains jurisdiction to complete the forfeiture and disposition of the assets sought by the government.
DONE AND ORDERED.
