KEVIN RAY SCOTT ) 

PRELIMINARY ORDER OF FORFEITURE 

On October 11,2012, a Grand Jury sitting in the Western District of Arkansas returned an 

Indictment against the Defendant, charging him with one count of having been previously 

convicted of a crime punishable by imprisonment exceeding one year, knowingly possessed a 

firearm, in violation of Title 18 U.S.C. §§ 922(g)(l) and 924(a)(2), and a forfeiture allegation. 

In the forfeiture allegation of the Indictment, the United States seeks forfeiture, pursuant 

to Title 18 U.S.C. § 924(d) and Title 18 U.S.C. § 3665, of: 

1. Mossberg, .12 gauge shotgun, serial number L592199 

as property involved in, or used to facilitate the offense. 

On October 27,2016, the Defendant pleaded guilty to the Indictment. Pursuant to a Plea 

Agreement entered into by the parties, the Defendant agrees to forfeit all rights, title and interest 

to the firearm listed in the Indictment. The Defendant acknowledges that all property covered by 

the Plea Agreement is subject to forfeiture as property facilitating illegal conduct, or property 

involved in illegal conduct giving rise to forfeiture, or as substitute assets for property otherwise 

subject to forfeiture.

Pursuant to the Plea Agreement, the Defendant consents to the immediate entry of a 

Preliminary Order of Forfeiture upon entry of the guilty plea. The Defendant further agrees that 

upon entry of the Preliminary Order of Forfeiture, such order will be considered final as to 

Defendant's interests in the property(ies). The Defendant agrees to immediately withdraw any 

claims to property(ies) seized in connection with this case in any pending administrative and civil 

forfeiture proceeding, and consents to the forfeiture of all properties seized in connection with 

this case to the United States. The Defendant agrees to execute any and all documents requested 

by the Government to facilitate or complete the forfeiture process(es). The Defendant further 

agrees not to contest or to assist any other person or entity in contesting the forfeiture of the 

property(ies) seized in connection with this case. 

Pursuant to the Plea Agreement, the Defendant agrees to consent to the entry of orders of 

forfeiture for such property and waives the requirements of Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure 

32.2 and 43(a) regarding notice of the forfeiture in the charging instrument, announcement ofthe 

forfeiture at sentencing, and incorporation of the forfeiture in the judgment. The Defendant 

acknowledges that he understands that the forfeiture of assets is part of the sentence that may be 

imposed in this case and waives any failure by the court to advise him of this, pursuant to Rule 

11(b)(1)(J), at the time his gUilty plea is accepted. 

Pursuant to the Plea Agreement, the Defendant further agrees to waive all constitutional 

and statutory challenges in any manner (including direct appeal, habeas corpus, or any other 

means) to any forfeiture carried out in accordance with the plea agreement on any grounds, 

including that the forfeiture constitutes an excessive fine or punishment. The Defendant agrees 

to take all steps as requested by the United States to pass clear title to forfeitable assets to the

agrees that the forfeiture provisions of the plea agreement are intended to, and will, survive him,

agreement. 

Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED, DECREED AND ADJUDGED:
