Collette Taylor, No. 4:23-CR-00056-D, in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina, Eastern Division, Document 33, filed May 22, 2024.

             a) A sum of money in the amount of $23,832.00, representing the gross

                 proceeds personally obtained by the defendant as a result of the

                 offense(s) for which he/she has been convicted; and an amount for
