USA v. Villanueva-Camacho

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
WESTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS
FAYETTEVILLE DIVISION
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA 	PLAINTIFF
V. 	CASE NO. 5:12-CR-50066-001
RENE SERGIO VILLANUEVA-CAMACHO 	DEFENDANT
ORDER FOR REMISSION OF FINE
Currently before the Court is the Government’s Petition for Remission of Fine (Doc.
27). The Court, being well and sufficiently advised, finds and orders as follows:
1. 	On July 18, 2013, Defendant was sentenced to 77 months incarceration, no
term of supervised release due to anticipated deportation, a $100.00 special assessment,
and a $1,000.00 fine. The special assessment was paid in full, but Defendant owes a fine
balance of $1,000.00.
2. 	The United States now moves to remit Defendant's fine pursuant to 18
U.S.C. § 3573, which provides:
Upon petition of the Government showing that reasonable efforts to collect
a fine . . . are not likely to be effective, the court may, in the interest of justice
–
(1) 	remit 	all 	or 	part 	of 	the 	unpaid 	portion 	of 	the 	fine 	or 	special
assessment, including interest and penalties.
This statute shall apply to all fines and assessments, irrespective of the date
of imposition.
3. 	The Government states that Defendant was deported and there is no
reasonable likelihood the remaining fine can be collected.
