3. The defendant consents to a wage assignment through his current employer at a rate of $50.00 (fifty dollars) each month to be made by his employer directly to the Clerk of the Court. The wage assignment payments shall start with the pay period during which defendant's employer receives this Order of Wage Assignment and will continue each pay period until the judgment balance is paid in full. The United States Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York will conduct an annual review to determine if defendant's monthly payment should be increased based on defendant's completed financial disclosure statement and the documents accompanying that statement (tax returns, credit card billing statements, etc.).

Defendant shall provide the United States Attorney Office's financial litigation Program - 86 Chambers Street,York, New York 10007 - with information elating to a new purchase of property within thirty days of closing.
6. The District Court shall retain jurisdiction over this case for purposes of enforcing this stipulation.
WHEREFORE, the parties jointly request that the Court enter an Order declaring the United States' enforcement of the criminal judgment entered against defendant with a voluntary wage assignment of defendant Junior Antwi's paycheck as permitted by the Mandatory Victims Restitution Act. 18 U.S.C. §§ 3613,3663A-3664.
