AMENDED STIPULATION AND RESTITUTION ORDER FOR INDIVIDUAL VICTIMS OF MORTGAGE LOAN FRAUD

D. LOWELL JENSEN, Senior District Judge.

Plaintiff United States of America, by and through its attorney of record, and defendants Edith Nelson, Ronald Nelson, and Nelda Asuncion, 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). On that same date, 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). Also on February 3, 2012, defendant Nelda Asuncion pled guilty to Conspiracy to Commit Bank Fraud and Wire Fraud, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1349; and Monetary Transactions Using Criminally Derived Property, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1957(a).

2. On May 10, 2012, this Court sentenced defendants Edith Nelson, Ronald Nelson, and Nelda Asuncion pursuant to their plea agreements under Rule 11(c)(1)(C) of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure.

A. As part of their plea agreements, defendants Edith Nelson and Ronald Nelson 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: (1) $3,384,368.50 for mortgage loan fraud; (2) $292,862 plus interest and penalties for income tax evasion; and (3) $1,546,246.40 for the back wages of employees and former employees, as determined by the U.S. Department of Labor. B. As part of her plea agreement, defendant Nelda Asuncion agreed to pay restitution in the total amount of $2,838,868.50 for mortgage loan fraud.

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 stipulations and proposed orders for the payment of restitution 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. With respect to defendant Nelda Asuncion, this Court directed that stipulations and proposed orders for the payment of restitution be submitted as follows: (1) individual victims of mortgage loan fraud; and (2) financial institutions who are victims of mortgage loan fraud.

5. The government and defendants Edith Nelson and Ronald Nelson 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 government and defendant Nelda Asuncion agree that, if the defendant makes partial restitution payments, the individual victims of mortgage loan fraud (to whom she is jointly and severally liable with defendants Edith Nelson and Ronald Nelson for payment of restitution) shall receive approximately proportional payments until full restitution is paid to those victims. After those individual victims are paid restitution in full, defendant Nelda Asuncion's restitution payments shall be made to the financial institutions (to which she is jointly and severally liable with defendants Edith Nelson and Ronald Nelson) in approximately proportional payments until full restitution is paid to those financial institutions.

7. The parties agree that defendants Edith Nelson, Ronald Nelson, and Nelda Asuncion shall pay, jointly and severally, restitution owed to the individual victims of mortgage loan fraud listed below in the specified amounts, totaling $1,014,147.26.

Item Defendants Joint & Several Name of Victims No. (Jointly & Severally Liable) Restitution 1 Edith Nelson, Ronald $ 581,888.70 Robert Cueva Nelson, & Nelda Asuncion 2 Edith Nelson, Ronald $ 32,258.56 Cynthia Dinglasan and Redentor Dinglasan Nelson, & Nelda Asuncion 3 Edith Nelson, Ronald $ 400,000.00 Alicia Ferrer Nelson, & Nelda Asuncion Total Restitution $1,014,147.26

8. The restitution amounts owed by defendants Edith Nelson, Ronald Nelson, and Nelda Asuncion to the financial institutions which are victims of mortgage loan fraud are set forth in a separate stipulation and order. The restitution owed by defendants Edith Nelson and Ronald Nelson to Dennis Duncan and Shawna Duncan, who are individual victims of mortgage loan fraud, is also set forth in a separate stipulation and order.

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
