UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff, v. CHRISTIN GUILLORY, Defendant.
ORDER OF FORFEITURE
RICARDO S. MARTINEZ UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
THIS MATTER comes before the Court on the United States' Motion for Order of Forfeiture (“Motion”) seeking to forfeit, to the United States, Defendant Christin Guillory's interest in the following property:
• A judgment for a sum of money (also known as a forfeiture money judgment) in the amount of $2,536,086.17, representing the proceeds Defendant Guillory obtained as a result of her Wire Fraud scheme, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1343.
The Court, having reviewed the United States' Motion, as well as the other papers and pleadings filed in this matter, hereby FINDS entry of an Order of Forfeiture is appropriate for the following reasons:
• The proceeds of Wire Fraud, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1343, are forfeitable pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 981(a)(1)(C), by way of 28 U.S.C. § 2461(c);
• In her Plea Agreement, Defendant agreed to forfeit her interest in the aboveidentified judgment for a sum of money pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 981(a)(1)(C), by way of 28 U.S.C. § 2461(c), as it represents the proceeds she obtained as a result of the Wire Fraud scheme to which she entered a guilty plea (Dkt. No. 8, ¶ 14); and,
• This $2,536,086.17 judgment for a sum of money is personal to Defendant Guillory; pursuant to Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure (“Fed. R. Crim. P.”) 32.2(c)(1), no third-party ancillary process is required before forfeiting it.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE COURT ORDERS:
1. Pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 981(a)(1)(C), by way of 28 U.S.C. § 2461(c), and Defendant Guillory's Plea Agreement, Defendant's interest in the above-identified $2,536,086.17 sum of money is fully and finally forfeited, in its entirety, to the United States;
2. Pursuant to Fed. R. Crim. P. 32.2(b)(4)(A)-(B), this Order will become final as to Defendant Guillory at the time she is sentenced; it will be made part of the sentence; and, it will be included in the judgment;
3. No right, title, or interest in the identified sum of money in the amount of $2,536,086.17 exists in any party other than the United States;
4. Pursuant to Fed. R. Crim. P. 32.2(e), in order to satisfy this sum of money, in whole or in part, the United States may move to amend this Order, at any time, to include substitute property having a value not to exceed $2,536,086.17; and, ///
5. The Court will retain jurisdiction in this case for the purpose of enforcing this Order, as necessary.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
