   UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

   v.

   SHANRIKA DUHART,

                  Defendant.


                           PRELIMINARY ORDER OF FORFEITURE

         THIS MATTER is before the Court upon motion of the United States of America (the

  "United States") for entry of a Preliminary Order of Forfeiture ("Motion") against Defendant

  Shanrika Duhart (the "Defendant"). The Court has considered the Motion, is otherwise advised in

  the premises, and finds as follows:

         On September 2, 2021, the United States filed an Information charging the Defendant with

  conspiracy to commit wire fraud in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 371. Information, ECF No. 1. The

  Information also contained forfeiture allegations, which alleged that upon conviction of a violation

  of 18 U.S.C. § 371, the Defendant shall forfeit any proceeds the defendant obtained, directly or

  indirectly, as the result of such violation pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 982(a)(2)(A). See id. at 7.

         On December 14, 2021, the Court accepted the Defendant's guilty plea to the Information.

  See Minute Entry, ECF No. 31; Plea Agreement, 1, ECF No. 32-1. As part of the guilty plea, the

  Defendant agreed to the entry forfeiture money judgment in the amount of $388,790.00 against

  her. Plea Agreement, 13, ECF No. 32-1.

         In support of the guilty plea, the Defendant executed a Factual Proffer, and the Court found

  that there was a factual basis to support the Defendant's conviction. See Factual Proffer, ECF No.

  32. The Factual Proffer also provided a basis for the forfeiture of property. See id. at 2.

         As described in the Defendant's Factual Proffer, from on or about May 22, 2020, through

  at least on or about July 30, 2020, the Defendant knowingly and willfully conspired with James

  Stote, Keyaira Bostic, and others to submit and cause the submission of a fraudulent Paycheck

  Protection Program ("PPP") loan application on behalf of the Defendant's company, Hair She

  Goes, Inc. ("HSG"). See Factual Proffer at 1, ECF No. 32. As a result of the knowingly and

  willfully false representations made by the Defendant and James Stote in the loan documents, Bank

  Processor 1 approved the loan for HSG, which Bank 1 funded by making an electronic wire

  transfer in the amount of $388,790.00 into the HSG bank account. Id. at 3.

         Based on the record in this case, the total value of the proceeds traceable to the offense of

  conviction is $388,790.00, which sum may be sought as a forfeiture money judgment pursuant to

  Rule 32.2 of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure.

         Accordingly, based on the foregoing, the evidence in the record, and for good cause shown,

  the Motion is GRANTED, and it is hereby ORDERED that:

          1.     Pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 982(a)(2)(A) and Rule 32.2 of the Federal Rules of

  Criminal Procedure, a forfeiture money judgment in the amount of is $388,790.00 is hereby

  entered against the Defendant.

         2.      The United States is authorized to conduct any discovery that might be necessary

  to identify, locate, or dispose of forfeited property, and to resolve any third-party petition, pursuant

  to Rule 32.2(b)(3), (c)(l)(B) of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure and 21 U.S.C. § 853(m).

         3.      Pursuant to Rule 32.2(b)(4) of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, this Order

  is final as to the Defendant.




                                                     2
