STIPULATION AND ORDER CONTINUING STAY OF GARNISHMENT PROCEEDINGS

Prior to the Indictment, on April 3, 2012, the Federal Trade Commission 

filed a civil complaint against Mr. Patel in Case No. 2:12-cv-00855-JAM-DAD. A 

stipulated judgment, reflecting the settlement agreement reached between Mr. 

Patel and the FTC, was issued on September 10, 2015. As part of the judgment,

Mr. Patel was ordered to pay the FTC $72,002.00 from his personal bank 

accounts, and to release an additional $503,089.00 from accounts held in BGM’s 

name. Mr. Patel promptly made the payments. 

A plea agreement in Case No. 2:12-cr-00306-JAM was filed on October 14, 

2014, and Mr. Patel pled guilty to two counts each of mail and wire fraud. The 

Agreement directs that “[a]ny restitution paid by this defendant pursuant to the 

civil lawsuit Federal Trade Commission v. Broadway Global Master, et al, 2:12-cv00855-JAM-DAD will be credited against restitution owed by this defendant under 

this agreement.” A restitution hearing was held on October 27, 2015. The Court 

issued a restitution Order on November 9, 2015, in the amount of $106,443.45. 

The Order states that the restitution amount is to be “credited, as permitted under 

18 U.S.C. §3664(j)(2)(A), to reflect any restitution that the same victim receives in 

the future on account of the settlement of civil case 2:12-cv-855-JAM.” 

On January 26, 2016, the U.S. Attorney filed Case No. 2:16-mc-00012-

JAM-KJN, seeking a writ of garnishment to satisfy the restitution obligation.

It is the parties’ understanding that the FTC has nearly completed the task 

of processing the settlement payments and the final tally regarding those 

payments will be available once that process concludes.

II. STIPULATION

On February 26, 2016, the parties stipulated to a 30-day stay of the 

garnishment proceedings to allow additional time necessary to communicate with 

the Federal Trade Commission concerning its final allocation of settlement 

payments in Case No. 2:12-cv-00855-JAM-DAD and to determine how those 

payments affect the remaining restitution balance owed in Case No. 2:12-crCase 2:16-mc-00012-JAM-KJN Document 13 Filed 03/23/16 Page 2 of 4

00306-JAM, and subject to garnishment in Case No. 2:16-mc-00012-JAM-KJN. 

Based on information received from the FTC, the parties expect the final 

accounting of the allocation of the civil settlement funds in the next 2-3 weeks. In 

light of these circumstances, the defendant, KIRIT PATEL, through his counsel of 

record, Emily E. Doringer, and plaintiff United States of America, through its 

counsel, Assistant United States Attorney Kurt A. Didier, agree and stipulate that 

the action for Writ of Garnishment, Case No. 2:16-mc-00012-JAM-KJN, shall be 

stayed for an additional 30 day period, to April 26, 2016. The purpose of the stay 

is to allow the parties additional time necessary to determine the amount of 

restitution remaining due in Case No. 2:12-cr-00306-JAM.

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
