SHERI POLSTER CHAPPELL UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
Before the Court is the United States' Motion for Preliminary Order of Forfeiture. (Doc. 47). Now that Defendant has been adjudicated guilty, the Government seeks a preliminary order forfeiting his interest in an Apple iPhone 11, IMEI 351010395528783, and HP Laptop 2000, which were used or intended to be used to commit the offense. See 18 U.S.C. § 2253; Fed. R. Crim. P. 32.2(b)(2). In so moving, the Government has connected the Apple iPhone 11, IMEI 351010395528783, and HP Laptop 2000 to the adjudicated offense. The Court thus finds the United States is entitled to possession of the Apple iPhone 11, IMEI 351010395528783, and HP Laptop 2000.
