R. Crim. P. 32.2(b)(3);

It is hereby ORDERED, ADJUDGED and DECREED:

1. That based upon the defendant's stipulation that she personally obtained at least $771,269.00 in proceeds from her violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1349, and that she has by her own acts or omissions made the proceeds unavailable, and that one or more of the conditions to forfeit substitute assets exists as set forth in 21 U.S.C. § 853(p), the United States is entitled to forfeit substitute assets equal to the value of the proceeds obtained by the defendant, and that such substitute assets shall not exceed $771,269.00 in value.

2. That pursuant to Rule 32.2(e) of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, the United States may move to amend this Order at any time to substitute specific property to satisfy this Order of Forfeiture in whole or in part. Any and all forfeited funds shall be deposited by the U.S. Department of Justice or the U.S. Department of the Treasury, as soon as located or recovered, into the U.S. Department of Justice's Assets Forfeiture Fund or the U.S. Department of the Treasury's Assets Forfeiture Fund in accordance with 28 U.S.C. § 524(c) and 21 U.S.C. § 881(e).

3. That based upon the Memorandum of Plea Agreement as to the defendant, Tamara Perry McCaffity, all of the defendant's interests in the identified real property are herewith forfeited, subject to the provisions of 21 U.S.C. §§ 853(n).

4. That pursuant to 21 U.S.C. § 853(n), the United States shall publish notice of this Order and of its intent to dispose of the property in such manner as the Attorney General or the Secretary of Treasury directs, by publishing and sending notice in the same manner as in civil forfeiture cases, as provided in Supplemental Rule G(4). Any person other than the defendant, having or claiming any legal interest in the subject property must file a petition with the Court within 30 days of the publication of notice or of receipt of actual notice, whichever is earlier.

The petition must be signed by the petitioner under penalty of perjury and shall set forth the nature and extent of the petitioner's right, title, or interest in the subject property, and must include any additional facts supporting the petitioner's claim and the relief sought.

5. That upon adjudication of all third party interests this Court will enter a Final Order of Forfeiture as to the identified real property pursuant to 21 U.S.C. § 853(n)(6).

6. That to the extent that the forfeiture or sale of the identified real property or any other substitute property hereafter forfeited is adequate to satisfy the proceeds judgment in the amount of $771,269.00 in whole or in part, the United States shall promptly file a Satisfaction of Judgment to the extent it is so satisfied.

7. That upon sentencing and issuance of the Judgment and Commitment Order, the Clerk of Court is directed to incorporate a reference to this Order of Forfeiture in the applicable section of the Judgment, as required by Fed. R. Crim. P. 32.2(a)(4)(B). Pursuant to Fed. R. Crim. 32.2(b)(4)(A), this Order shall be final as to the defendant upon entry.

SO ORDERED.
