TITLE 18 - CRIMES AND CRIMINAL PROCEDURE

PART II - CRIMINAL PROCEDURE

CHAPTER 232 - MISCELLANEOUS SENTENCING PROVISIONS

-HEAD-

Sec. 3663. Order of restitution

-STATUTE-

(a)(1)(A) The court, when sentencing a defendant convicted of an

offense under this title, section 401, 408(a), 409, 416, 420, or

422(a) of the Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. 841, 848(a),

849, 856, 861, 863) (but in no case shall a participant in an

offense under such sections be considered a victim of such offense

under this section), or section 46312, 46502, or 46504 of title 49,

other than an offense described in section 3663A(c), may order, in

addition to or, in the case of a misdemeanor, in lieu of any other

penalty authorized by law, that the defendant make restitution to

any victim of such offense, or if the victim is deceased, to the

victim's estate. The court may also order, if agreed to by the

parties in a plea agreement, restitution to persons other than the

victim of the offense.

(B)(i) The court, in determining whether to order restitution

under this section, shall consider -

(I) the amount of the loss sustained by each victim as a result

of the offense; and

(II) the financial resources of the defendant, the financial

needs and earning ability of the defendant and the defendant's

dependents, and such other factors as the court deems

appropriate.

(ii) To the extent that the court determines that the

complication and prolongation of the sentencing process resulting

from the fashioning of an order of restitution under this section

outweighs the need to provide restitution to any victims, the court

may decline to make such an order.

(2) For the purposes of this section, the term ''victim'' means a

person directly and proximately harmed as a result of the

commission of an offense for which restitution may be ordered

including, in the case of an offense that involves as an element a

scheme, conspiracy, or pattern of criminal activity, any person

directly harmed by the defendant's criminal conduct in the course

of the scheme, conspiracy, or pattern. In the case of a victim who

is under 18 years of age, incompetent, incapacitated, or deceased,

the legal guardian of the victim or representative of the victim's

estate, another family member, or any other person appointed as

suitable by the court, may assume the victim's rights under this

section, but in no event shall the defendant be named as such

representative or guardian.

(3) The court may also order restitution in any criminal case to

the extent agreed to by the parties in a plea agreement.

(b) The order may require that such defendant -

(1) in the case of an offense resulting in damage to or loss or

destruction of property of a victim of the offense -

(A) return the property to the owner of the property or

someone designated by the owner; or

(B) if return of the property under subparagraph (A) is

impossible, impractical, or inadequate, pay an amount equal to

the greater of -

(i) the value of the property on the date of the damage,

loss, or destruction, or

(ii) the value of the property on the date of sentencing,

less the value (as of the date the property is returned) of any

part of the property that is returned;

(2) in the case of an offense resulting in bodily injury to a

victim including an offense under chapter 109A or chapter 110 -

(A) pay an amount equal to the cost of necessary medical and

related professional services and devices relating to physical,

psychiatric, and psychological care, including nonmedical care

and treatment rendered in accordance with a method of healing

recognized by the law of the place of treatment;

(B) pay an amount equal to the cost of necessary physical and

occupational therapy and rehabilitation; and

(C) reimburse the victim for income lost by such victim as a

result of such offense;

(3) in the case of an offense resulting in bodily injury also

results in the death of a victim, pay an amount equal to the cost

of necessary funeral and related services;

(4) in any case, reimburse the victim for lost income and

necessary child care, transportation, and other expenses related

to participation in the investigation or prosecution of the

offense or attendance at proceedings related to the offense; and

(5) in any case, if the victim (or if the victim is deceased,

the victim's estate) consents, make restitution in services in

lieu of money, or make restitution to a person or organization

designated by the victim or the estate.

(c)(1) Notwithstanding any other provision of law (but subject to

the provisions of subsections (a)(1)(B)(i)(II) and (ii), (FOOTNOTE

1) when sentencing a defendant convicted of an offense described in

section 401, 408(a), 409, 416, 420, or 422(a) of the Controlled

Substances Act (21 U.S.C. 841, 848(a), 849, 856, 861, 863), in

which there is no identifiable victim, the court may order that the

defendant make restitution in accordance with this subsection.

(FOOTNOTE 1) So in original. Probably should be ''(ii)),''.

(2)(A) An order of restitution under this subsection shall be

based on the amount of public harm caused by the offense, as

determined by the court in accordance with guidelines promulgated

by the United States Sentencing Commission.

(B) In no case shall the amount of restitution ordered under this

subsection exceed the amount of the fine which may be ordered for

the offense charged in the case.

(3) Restitution under this subsection shall be distributed as

follows:

(A) 65 percent of the total amount of restitution shall be paid

to the State entity designated to administer crime victim

assistance in the State in which the crime occurred.

(B) 35 percent of the total amount of restitution shall be paid

to the State entity designated to receive Federal substance abuse

block grant funds.

(4) The court shall not make an award under this subsection if it

appears likely that such award would interfere with a forfeiture

under chapter 46 or chapter 96 of this title or under the

Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. 801 et seq.).

(5) Notwithstanding section 3612(c) or any other provision of

law, a penalty assessment under section 3013 or a fine under

subchapter C of chapter 227 shall take precedence over an order of

restitution under this subsection.

(6) Requests for community restitution under this subsection may

be considered in all plea agreements negotiated by the United

States.

(7)(A) The United States Sentencing Commission shall promulgate

guidelines to assist courts in determining the amount of

restitution that may be ordered under this subsection.

(B) No restitution shall be ordered under this subsection until

such time as the Sentencing Commission promulgates guidelines

pursuant to this paragraph.

(d) An order of restitution made pursuant to this section shall

be issued and enforced in accordance with section 3664.

Sec. 3663A. Mandatory restitution to victims of certain crimes

-STATUTE-

(a)(1) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, when

sentencing a defendant convicted of an offense described in

subsection (c), the court shall order, in addition to, or in the

case of a misdemeanor, in addition to or in lieu of, any other

penalty authorized by law, that the defendant make restitution to

the victim of the offense or, if the victim is deceased, to the

victim's estate.

(2) For the purposes of this section, the term ''victim'' means a

person directly and proximately harmed as a result of the

commission of an offense for which restitution may be ordered

including, in the case of an offense that involves as an element a

scheme, conspiracy, or pattern of criminal activity, any person

directly harmed by the defendant's criminal conduct in the course

of the scheme, conspiracy, or pattern. In the case of a victim who

is under 18 years of age, incompetent, incapacitated, or deceased,

the legal guardian of the victim or representative of the victim's

estate, another family member, or any other person appointed as

suitable by the court, may assume the victim's rights under this

section, but in no event shall the defendant be named as such

representative or guardian.

(3) The court shall also order, if agreed to by the parties in a

plea agreement, restitution to persons other than the victim of the

offense.

(b) The order of restitution shall require that such defendant -

(1) in the case of an offense resulting in damage to or loss or

destruction of property of a victim of the offense -

(A) return the property to the owner of the property or

someone designated by the owner; or

(B) if return of the property under subparagraph (A) is

impossible, impracticable, or inadequate, pay an amount equal

to -

(i) the greater of -

(I) the value of the property on the date of the damage,

loss, or destruction; or

(II) the value of the property on the date of sentencing,

less

(ii) the value (as of the date the property is returned) of

any part of the property that is returned;

(2) in the case of an offense resulting in bodily injury to a

victim -

(A) pay an amount equal to the cost of necessary medical and

related professional services and devices relating to physical,

psychiatric, and psychological care, including nonmedical care

and treatment rendered in accordance with a method of healing

recognized by the law of the place of treatment;

(B) pay an amount equal to the cost of necessary physical and

occupational therapy and rehabilitation; and

(C) reimburse the victim for income lost by such victim as a

result of such offense;

(3) in the case of an offense resulting in bodily injury that

results in the death of the victim, pay an amount equal to the

cost of necessary funeral and related services; and

(4) in any case, reimburse the victim for lost income and

necessary child care, transportation, and other expenses incurred

during participation in the investigation or prosecution of the

offense or attendance at proceedings related to the offense.

(c)(1) This section shall apply in all sentencing proceedings for

convictions of, or plea agreements relating to charges for, any

offense -

(A) that is -

(i) a crime of violence, as defined in section 16;

(ii) an offense against property under this title, or under

section 416(a) of the Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C.

856(a)), including any offense committed by fraud or deceit; or

(iii) an offense described in section 1365 (relating to

tampering with consumer products); and

(B) in which an identifiable victim or victims has suffered a

physical injury or pecuniary loss.

(2) In the case of a plea agreement that does not result in a

conviction for an offense described in paragraph (1), this section

shall apply only if the plea specifically states that an offense

listed under such paragraph gave rise to the plea agreement.

(3) This section shall not apply in the case of an offense

described in paragraph (1)(A)(ii) if the court finds, from facts on

the record, that -

(A) the number of identifiable victims is so large as to make

restitution impracticable; or

(B) determining complex issues of fact related to the cause or

amount of the victim's losses would complicate or prolong the

sentencing process to a degree that the need to provide

restitution to any victim is outweighed by the burden on the

sentencing process.

(d) An order of restitution under this section shall be issued

and enforced in accordance with section 3664.

PART II - CRIMINAL PROCEDURE

CHAPTER 232 - MISCELLANEOUS SENTENCING PROVISIONS

-HEAD-

Sec. 3664. Procedure for issuance and enforcement of order of

restitution

-STATUTE-

(a) For orders of restitution under this title, the court shall

order the probation officer to obtain and include in its

presentence report, or in a separate report, as the court may

direct, information sufficient for the court to exercise its

discretion in fashioning a restitution order. The report shall

include, to the extent practicable, a complete accounting of the

losses to each victim, any restitution owed pursuant to a plea

agreement, and information relating to the economic circumstances

of each defendant. If the number or identity of victims cannot be

reasonably ascertained, or other circumstances exist that make this

requirement clearly impracticable, the probation officer shall so

inform the court.

(b) The court shall disclose to both the defendant and the

attorney for the Government all portions of the presentence or

other report pertaining to the matters described in subsection (a)

of this section.

(c) The provisions of this chapter, chapter 227, and Rule 32(c)

of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure shall be the only rules

applicable to proceedings under this section.

(d)(1) Upon the request of the probation officer, but not later

than 60 days prior to the date initially set for sentencing, the

attorney for the Government, after consulting, to the extent

practicable, with all identified victims, shall promptly provide

the probation officer with a listing of the amounts subject to

restitution.

(2) The probation officer shall, prior to submitting the

presentence report under subsection (a), to the extent practicable

-

(A) provide notice to all identified victims of -

(i) the offense or offenses of which the defendant was

convicted;

(ii) the amounts subject to restitution submitted to the

probation officer;

(iii) the opportunity of the victim to submit information to

the probation officer concerning the amount of the victim's

losses;

(iv) the scheduled date, time, and place of the sentencing

hearing;

(v) the availability of a lien in favor of the victim

pursuant to subsection (m)(1)(B); and

(vi) the opportunity of the victim to file with the probation

officer a separate affidavit relating to the amount of the

victim's losses subject to restitution; and

(B) provide the victim with an affidavit form to submit

pursuant to subparagraph (A)(vi).

(3) Each defendant shall prepare and file with the probation

officer an affidavit fully describing the financial resources of

the defendant, including a complete listing of all assets owned or

controlled by the defendant as of the date on which the defendant

was arrested, the financial needs and earning ability of the

defendant and the defendant's dependents, and such other

information that the court requires relating to such other factors

as the court deems appropriate.

(4) After reviewing the report of the probation officer, the

court may require additional documentation or hear testimony. The

privacy of any records filed, or testimony heard, pursuant to this

section shall be maintained to the greatest extent possible, and

such records may be filed or testimony heard in camera.

(5) If the victim's losses are not ascertainable by the date that

is 10 days prior to sentencing, the attorney for the Government or

the probation officer shall so inform the court, and the court

shall set a date for the final determination of the victim's

losses, not to exceed 90 days after sentencing. If the victim

subsequently discovers further losses, the victim shall have 60

days after discovery of those losses in which to petition the court

for an amended restitution order. Such order may be granted only

upon a showing of good cause for the failure to include such losses

in the initial claim for restitutionary relief.

(6) The court may refer any issue arising in connection with a

proposed order of restitution to a magistrate judge or special

master for proposed findings of fact and recommendations as to

disposition, subject to a de novo determination of the issue by the

court.

(e) Any dispute as to the proper amount or type of restitution

shall be resolved by the court by the preponderance of the

evidence. The burden of demonstrating the amount of the loss

sustained by a victim as a result of the offense shall be on the

attorney for the Government. The burden of demonstrating the

financial resources of the defendant and the financial needs of the

defendant's dependents, shall be on the defendant. The burden of

demonstrating such other matters as the court deems appropriate

shall be upon the party designated by the court as justice

requires.

(f)(1)(A) In each order of restitution, the court shall order

restitution to each victim in the full amount of each victim's

losses as determined by the court and without consideration of the

economic circumstances of the defendant.

(B) In no case shall the fact that a victim has received or is

entitled to receive compensation with respect to a loss from

insurance or any other source be considered in determining the

amount of restitution.

(2) Upon determination of the amount of restitution owed to each

victim, the court shall, pursuant to section 3572, specify in the

restitution order the manner in which, and the schedule according

to which, the restitution is to be paid, in consideration of -

(A) the financial resources and other assets of the defendant,

including whether any of these assets are jointly controlled;

(B) projected earnings and other income of the defendant; and

(C) any financial obligations of the defendant; including

obligations to dependents.

(3)(A) A restitution order may direct the defendant to make a

single, lump-sum payment, partial payments at specified intervals,

in-kind payments, or a combination of payments at specified

intervals and in-kind payments.

(B) A restitution order may direct the defendant to make nominal

periodic payments if the court finds from facts on the record that

the economic circumstances of the defendant do not allow the

payment of any amount of a restitution order, and do not allow for

the payment of the full amount of a restitution order in the

foreseeable future under any reasonable schedule of payments.

(4) An in-kind payment described in paragraph (3) may be in the

form of -

(A) return of property;

(B) replacement of property; or

(C) if the victim agrees, services rendered to the victim or a

person or organization other than the victim.

(g)(1) No victim shall be required to participate in any phase of

a restitution order.

(2) A victim may at any time assign the victim's interest in

restitution payments to the Crime Victims Fund in the Treasury

without in any way impairing the obligation of the defendant to

make such payments.

(h) If the court finds that more than 1 defendant has contributed

to the loss of a victim, the court may make each defendant liable

for payment of the full amount of restitution or may apportion

liability among the defendants to reflect the level of contribution

to the victim's loss and economic circumstances of each defendant.

(i) If the court finds that more than 1 victim has sustained a

loss requiring restitution by a defendant, the court may provide

for a different payment schedule for each victim based on the type

and amount of each victim's loss and accounting for the economic

circumstances of each victim. In any case in which the United

States is a victim, the court shall ensure that all other victims

receive full restitution before the United States receives any

restitution.

(j)(1) If a victim has received compensation from insurance or

any other source with respect to a loss, the court shall order that

restitution be paid to the person who provided or is obligated to

provide the compensation, but the restitution order shall provide

that all restitution of victims required by the order be paid to

the victims before any restitution is paid to such a provider of

compensation.

(2) Any amount paid to a victim under an order of restitution

shall be reduced by any amount later recovered as compensatory

damages for the same loss by the victim in -

(A) any Federal civil proceeding; and

(B) any State civil proceeding, to the extent provided by the

law of the State.

(k) A restitution order shall provide that the defendant shall

notify the court and the Attorney General of any material change in

the defendant's economic circumstances that might affect the

defendant's ability to pay restitution. The court may also accept

notification of a material change in the defendant's economic

circumstances from the United States or from the victim. The

Attorney General shall certify to the court that the victim or

victims owed restitution by the defendant have been notified of the

change in circumstances. Upon receipt of the notification, the

court may, on its own motion, or the motion of any party, including

the victim, adjust the payment schedule, or require immediate

payment in full, as the interests of justice require.

(l) A conviction of a defendant for an offense involving the act

giving rise to an order of restitution shall estop the defendant

from denying the essential allegations of that offense in any

subsequent Federal civil proceeding or State civil proceeding, to

the extent consistent with State law, brought by the victim.

(m)(1)(A)(i) An order of restitution may be enforced by the

United States in the manner provided for in subchapter C of chapter

227 and subchapter B of chapter 229 of this title; or

(ii) by all other available and reasonable means.

(B) At the request of a victim named in a restitution order, the

clerk of the court shall issue an abstract of judgment certifying

that a judgment has been entered in favor of such victim in the

amount specified in the restitution order. Upon registering,

recording, docketing, or indexing such abstract in accordance with

the rules and requirements relating to judgments of the court of

the State where the district court is located, the abstract of

judgment shall be a lien on the property of the defendant located

in such State in the same manner and to the same extent and under

the same conditions as a judgment of a court of general

jurisdiction in that State.

(2) An order of in-kind restitution in the form of services shall

be enforced by the probation officer.

(n) If a person obligated to provide restitution, or pay a fine,

receives substantial resources from any source, including

inheritance, settlement, or other judgment, during a period of

incarceration, such person shall be required to apply the value of

such resources to any restitution or fine still owed.

(o) A sentence that imposes an order of restitution is a final

judgment notwithstanding the fact that -

(1) such a sentence can subsequently be -

(A) corrected under Rule 35 of the Federal Rules of Criminal

Procedure and section 3742 of chapter 235 of this title;

(B) appealed and modified under section 3742;

(C) amended under subsection (d)(5); or

(D) adjusted under section 3664(k), 3572, or 3613A; or

(2) the defendant may be resentenced under section 3565 or

3614.

(p) Nothing in this section or sections 2248, 2259, 2264, 2327,

3663, and 3663A and arising out of the application of such

sections, shall be construed to create a cause of action not

otherwise authorized in favor of any person against the United

States or any officer or employee of the United States.

Sec. 3668. Remission or mitigation of forfeitures under liquor

laws; possession pending trial

-STATUTE-

(a) Jurisdiction of court

Whenever, in any proceeding in court for the forfeiture, under

the internal-revenue laws, of any vehicle or aircraft seized for a

violation of the internal-revenue laws relating to liquors, such

forfeiture is decreed, the court shall have exclusive jurisdiction

to remit or mitigate the forfeiture.

(b) Conditions precedent to remission or mitigation

In any such proceeding the court shall not allow the claim of any

claimant for remission or mitigation unless and until he proves (1)

that he has an interest in such vehicle or aircraft, as owner or

otherwise, which he acquired in good faith, (2) that he had at no

time any knowledge or reason to believe that it was being or would

be used in the violation of laws of the United States or of any

State relating to liquor, and (3) if it appears that the interest

asserted by the claimant arises out of or is in any way subject to

any contract or agreement under which any person having a record or

reputation for violating laws of the United States or of any State

relating to liquor has a right with respect to such vehicle or

aircraft, that, before such claimant acquired his interest, or such

other person acquired his right under such contract or agreement,

whichever occurred later, the claimant, his officer or agent, was

informed in answer to his inquiry, at the headquarters of the

sheriff, chief of police, principal Federal internal-revenue

officer engaged in the enforcement of the liquor laws, or other

principal local or Federal law-enforcement officer of the locality

in which such other person acquired his right under such contract

or agreement, of the locality in which such other person then

resided, and of each locality in which the claimant has made any

other inquiry as to the character or financial standing of such

other person, that such other person had no such record or

reputation.

(c) Claimants first entitled to delivery

Upon the request of any claimant whose claim for remission or

mitigation is allowed and whose interest is first in the order of

priority among such claims allowed in such proceeding and is of an

amount in excess of, or equal to, the appraised value of such

vehicle or aircraft, the court shall order its return to him; and,

upon the joint request of any two or more claimants whose claims

are allowed and whose interests are not subject to any prior or

intervening interests claimed and allowed in such proceedings, and

are of a total amount in excess of, or equal to, the appraised

value of such vehicle or aircraft, the court shall order its return

to such of the joint requesting claimants as is designated in such

request. Such return shall be made only upon payment of all

expenses incident to the seizure and forfeiture incurred by the

United States. In all other cases the court shall order disposition

of such vehicle or aircraft as provided in section 1306 of title

40, and if such disposition be by public sale, payment from the

proceeds thereof, after satisfaction of all such expenses, of any

such claim in its order of priority among the claims allowed in

such proceedings.

(d) Delivery on bond pending trial

In any proceeding in court for the forfeiture under the

internal-revenue laws of any vehicle or aircraft seized for a

violation of the internal-revenue laws relating to liquor, the

court shall order delivery thereof to any claimant who shall

establish his right to the immediate possession thereof, and shall

execute, with one or more sureties approved by the court, and

deliver to the court, a bond to the United States for the payment

of a sum equal to the appraised value of such vehicle or aircraft.

Such bond shall be conditioned to return such vehicle or aircraft

at the time of the trial and to pay the difference between the

appraised value of such vehicle or aircraft as of the time it shall

have been so released on bond and the appraised value thereof as of

the time of trial; and conditioned further that, if the vehicle or

aircraft be not returned at the time of trial, the bond shall stand

in lieu of, and be forfeited in the same manner as, such vehicle or

aircraft. Notwithstanding this subsection or any other provisions

of law relating to the delivery of possession on bond of vehicles

or aircraft sought to be forfeited under the internal-revenue laws,

the court may, in its discretion and upon good cause shown by the

United States, refuse to order such delivery of possession.
