Order — USA v. Joseph Ransome, No. 3:21-cr-00022-RJC-DSC (Dkt. 39, W.D.N.C.)
Summary
In this order signed January 25, 2023 in USA v. Joseph Ransome (W.D.N.C., No. 3:21-cr-00022-RJC-DSC), the Court rules on Ransome's pro se motion for an order releasing frozen funds (Doc. No. 37). The order notes that the restitution of $44,172 the Court imposed (Doc. No. 33) has been paid in full, and that Ransome seeks the release of funds frozen by NASA Federal Credit Union. The government reported that the credit union told it the funds are frozen for reasons unrelated to the criminal case, so the order finds that Ransome has not shown the Court has authority to order their release, and the motion is dismissed.
