FINAL ORDER FOR FORFEITURE MONEY JUDGMENT
THIS CAUSE comes before the court on motion of the United States of America for Entry of a Final Order for Forfeiture Money Judgment (Dkt. #43) in the instant case, which, at sentencing, shall be a final order of forfeiture as to the defendant. The court, being fully advised in the premises, hereby finds that the United States has established the requisite nexus between the $60,000.00 money judgment and the violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1), as charged in Count One of the indictment, to which defendant Francisco Marquez pled guilty. For good cause shown, the motion of the United States ( Dkt. #43) is GRANTED.
The Court finds that defendant Francisco Marquez obtained proceeds in the amount of $60,000.00 as a result of his participation in the drug conspiracy to which he pled guilty in Count One of the Indictment.
Accordingly, it is herebyORDERED that defendant Francisco Marquez is personally liable to the United States of America for a forfeiture money judgment in the amount of $60,000.00. The Court shall retain jurisdiction to enter any further orders necessary for the forfeiture and disposition of substitute assets, pursuant to 21 U.S.C. § 853(p), up to the amount of the money judgments, and to entertain any third party claims that may be asserted in those proceedings.
DONE and ORDERED.
