District Court for the Southern District 

of Florida, Naomi Natal Haynes 

(‘‘Haynes’’) was convicted of violating 

18 U.S.C. 371. Specifically, Haynes was 

convicted of conspiring to fraudulently 

and knowingly export and send firearms 

from the United States to Canada 

without the required license. As a result 

of her conviction, the Court sentenced 

her to 84 months in prison, three years 

of supervised release, a $200 assessment 

and $18,240.18 Restitution. 

Pursuant to Section 1760(e) of the 

Export Control Reform Act (‘‘ECRA’’),1

the export privileges of any person who 

has been convicted of certain offenses, 

including, but not limited to, 18 U.S.C 

371, may be denied for a period of up 

to ten (10) years from the date of his/her 

conviction. 50 U.S.C. 4819(e). In 

addition, any Bureau of Industry and 

Security (‘‘BIS’’) licenses or other

As provided in Section 766.25 of the
