DEFENDANT: JERROLD MINNEY

CASE NUMBER: 11-cr-00362-WYD-06

STATEMENT OF REASONS

VII COURT DETERMINATIONS OF RESTITUTION

A Restitution Not Applicable.

B Total Amount of Restitution: $406,217.64

C Restitution not ordered (Check only one.):

1 For offenses for which restitution is otherwise mandatory under 18 U.S.C. § 3663A, restitution is not ordered because the number of

identifiable victims is so large as to make restitution impracticable under 18 U.S.C. § 3663A(c)(3)(A).

2 For offenses for which restitution is otherwise mandatory under 18 U.S.C. § 3663A, restitution is not ordered because determining complex 

issues of fact and relating them to the cause or amount of the victims’ losses would complicate or prolong the sentencing process to a degree

that the need to provide restitution to any victim would be outweighed by the burden on the sentencing process under 18 U.S.C. § 3663A(c)(3)(B).

3 For other offenses for which restitution is authorized under 18 U.S.C. § 3663 and/or required by the sentencing guidelines, restitution is not

ordered because the complication and prolongation of the sentencing process resulting from the fashioning of a restitution order outweigh 

the need to provide restitution to any victims under 18 U.S.C. § 3663(a)(1)(B)(ii).

4 Restitution is not ordered for other reasons. (Explain.) 

D Partial restitution is ordered for these reasons (18 U.S.C. § 3553(c)):

VIII ADDITIONAL FACTS JUSTIFYING THE SENTENCE IN THIS CASE (If applicable.)

Sections I, II, III, IV, and VII of the Statement of Reasons form must be completed in all felony cases.
