                             UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
                                      DISTRICT OF UTAH


 UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,                                 ORDER OF FORFEITURE
                                                          (MONEY JUDGMENT ONLY)
                       Plaintiff,
                                                            Case No. 2:24-cr-00061-DBB
        vs.
                                                                 Judge David Barlow
 HALEE ANN MEHLBAUER,

                       Defendant.


       Based on the government’s Unopposed Motion for Order of Forfeiture, and good cause

appearing, the court GRANTS the motion, and FINDS:

       Considering the defendant’s plea of guilty to Counts Two and Eight of the Indictment

charging the defendant with Wire Fraud in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1343; and Money

Laundering in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1957, the defendant must forfeit any property, real or

personal, which constitutes or is derived from proceeds traceable to the offense under 18 U.S.C.

§ 981(a)(1)(C) and 28 U.S.C. § 2461(c); and any property, real or personal, involved in such

offense, or any property traceable to such property under 18 U.S.C. § 982(a)(1). Based on the

motion of the United States, the defendant’s guilty plea, and the statement in advance of plea, the

value of such property is $177,030.50. This amount also represents the value of property that is

unavailable for forfeiture for one or more of the reasons specified in 21 U.S.C. § 853(p).

       Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED:

       Pursuant to FED. R. CRIM. P. 32.2(b)(1)(A), 18 U.S.C. § 981(a)(1)(C) and 28 U.S.C.

§ 2461(c), and 18 U.S.C. § 982(a)(1), a forfeiture money judgment of $177,030.50 is imposed

against Halee Ann Mehlbauer.
Case 2:24-cr-00061-DBB         Document 146           Filed 12/01/25    PageID.599       Page 2 of 2




       Under FED. R. CRIM. P. 32.2(b)(3), the government may undertake whatever discovery

may be necessary to identify, locate, or dispose of substitute assets that may satisfy the forfeiture

money judgment.

       Under FED. R. CRIM. P. 32.2(C)(1), no ancillary proceeding is required because this order

only imposes a money judgment.

       Under FED. R. CRIM. P. 32.2(B)(4), this order shall become final as to the defendant at the

time of sentencing and shall be made a part of the sentence and referenced in the judgment.

       To satisfy the money judgment in whole or in part, the United States may move at any

time under FED. R. CRIM. P. 32.2(e) to amend this order to include the forfeiture of substitute

property having a value not to exceed $177,030.50.

       The Court shall retain jurisdiction to enforce this Order, and to amend it as necessary

under FED. R. CRIM. P. 32.2(e).

       SO ORDERED this 1st day of December, 2025.

                                              BY THE COURT:



                                              ___________________________
                                              Judge David Barlow
                                              United States District Court




                                                  2
