APPEARING FOR
APPELLEE:                      JUSTIN ANDERSON, Assistant United

                               United States Attorney, Of Counsel,
                               on the brief), Southern District of
                               New York, New York, NY.

     Appeal from a judgment of the United States District Court

for the Southern District of New York (Sullivan, J.).

     ON CONSIDERATION WHEREOF, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, ADJUDGED,

AND DECREED that the judgment of the district court be and hereby

is AFFIRMED.

     Appellant Cho appeals from a judgment of conviction

following her plea of guilty to one count of bank fraud, in

violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 1344.   Her

sole challenge is to the district court’s order of restitution in

the amount of $49,600.   Cho attempted to make restitution in full

prior to the entry of the district court’s judgment and, based on

her belief that she was successful, sought for the judgment to be

entered without an order of restitution.   The district court

found that restitution was not completed prior to entry of the

judgment and denied Cho’s request.   The district court also

denied a subsequent request by Cho that “a new judgment be issued

without the restitution order.”   For substantially the reasons
relied upon by the district court, the district court’s judgment

of conviction and subsequent order are AFFIRMED.

                         FOR THE COURT:
                         Catherine O’Hagan Wolfe, Clerk
