             NOTICE TO THE COURT REGARDING FORFEITURE

        On June 7, 2023, the Court entered an Order of Forfeiture in the amount of

 $298,875 against the defendant, representing the proceeds he obtained from his bank

 fraud offenses, as charged in Counts One and Two of the Indictment, and a

 Preliminary Order of Forfeiture for real property that was purchased with proceeds a

 co-conspirator, Ismaelle Manuel, obtained from her participation in the charged

 bank fraud offenses. See United States v. Ismaelle Manuel, Case No. 2:23-cr-3-TPB-

 KCD, at Doc. 44. On August 9, 2023, the Court entered a Final Order of Forfeiture

 for the real property in that case. See Id. at Doc. 53.

        On December 9, 2024, the United States Attorney requested authorization

 from the Attorney General’s designee to transfer funds obtained from the sale of the

 property to the Clerk of the Court to be disbursed to the victim in this case, as well as

 the victim in a related case, United States v. Ismaelle Manuel, Case No. 2:23-cr-3-TPB-

 KCD, pursuant to the defendants’ restitution orders.
