STIPULATION AND [] RESTITUTION ORDER FOR TAXES OWED TO THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE

D. LOWELL JENSEN, Senior District Judge.

Plaintiff United States of America, by and through its attorney of record, and defendants Edith Nelson and Ronald Nelson, by and through their respective attorneys of record, hereby stipulate as follows:

1. On February 3, 2012, defendant Edith Nelson pled guilty to Conspiracy to Commit Bank Fraud and Wire Fraud, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1349; Monetary Transactions Using Criminally Derived Property, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1957(a); Income Tax Evasion, in violation of 26 U.S.C. § 7201; and Harboring of an Illegal Alien, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1324(a)(1)(A)(iii). Also on February 3, 2012, defendant Ronald Nelson pled guilty to Conspiracy to Commit Bank Fraud and Wire Fraud, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1349; Income Tax Evasion, in violation of 26 U.S.C. § 7201; and Harboring of an Illegal Alien, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1324(a)(1)(A)(iii).

2. On May 10, 2012, this Court sentenced defendants Edith Nelson and Ronald Nelson pursuant to their plea agreements under Rule 11(c)(1)(C) of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure. As part of their plea agreements, both defendants agreed to pay restitution in the total amount of $5,223,476.90 (plus interest and penalties on the restitution owed for income tax evasion) as follows:

3. The agreed upon restitution involved victims which are financial institutions and government entities, such as the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the Internal Revenue Service, as well as individual victims. The government previously provided the defendants with charts setting forth, inter alia, the names of the victims and the restitution owed to each of them. The government represents that it has provided the addresses for payment of restitution to the U.S. Office of Probation.

4. At the sentencing proceeding, this Court granted the United States' request that the respective judgments indicate that the individual victims have priority for payment of restitution over the lending institutions and government entities pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3664(i). This Court directed that the parties submit stipulations and proposed orders setting forth the order of priority for payment of restitution and the amount of restitution owed to each victim, as the parties had agreed in entering into the respective plea agreements. With respect to defendants Edith Nelson and Ronald Nelson, this Court directed that separate stipulations and proposed orders be submitted as follows: (1) individual victims of mortgage loan fraud; (2) forty-nine individual victims who are owed back wages; (3) financial institutions who are victims of mortgage loan fraud; and (4) Internal Revenue Service for payment of taxes owed.

5. The parties agree that, if the defendants make partial payments, the individual victims of mortgage loan fraud as well as the individual victims who are owed back wages shall receive approximately proportional payments until full restitution is paid to all of the individual victims. After all of the individual victims are paid restitution in full, the financial institutions who are victims of mortgage loan fraud shall receive approximately proportional payments of restitution until full restitution is paid to those financial institutions. After all of the financial institution victims are paid restitution in full, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"), a quasi-governmental entity, shall receive all restitution payments until the FDIC is paid in full. After the FDIC is paid full restitution, the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") shall receive all remaining payments until full restitution is made to the IRS, including interest and penalties on the taxes owed.

6. The parties agree that defendants Edith Nelson and Ronald Nelson shall pay, jointly and severally, taxes owed in the amount of $292,862 (plus interest and penalties) to the Internal Revenue Service, and that the address for payment of restitution is as follows:

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
