DEFENDANT: KEITH P. ALLISON

CASE NUMBER: 11-cr-00375-CMA-01

STATEMENT OF REASONS

VII COURT DETERMINATIONS OF RESTITUTION

A X Restitution Not Applicable.

B Total Amount of Restitution: 

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.)
