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.
