Summary

A Preliminary Order of Forfeiture for Proceeds entered October 3, 2023 in United States v. Deconna Burke, No. 3:23-cr-00068-TJC-MCR, in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida, Jacksonville Division, as Doc. 31. The order grants the United States' unopposed motion, Doc. 30, and the court finds that $20,415 represents the proceeds obtained from the wire fraud charged in Count One of the Indictment, to which the order states the defendant pled guilty. Under 18 U.S.C. § 981(a)(1)(C), 28 U.S.C. § 2461(c) and Fed. R. Crim. P. 32.2(b)(2), it holds the defendant liable for forfeiture of $20,415. Because the order states the proceeds were dissipated, it allows the United States to seek substitute assets under 21 U.S.C. § 853(p) up to that value, and it becomes final at sentencing. The order is two pages.
