STATEMENT OF REASONS

VII. COURT DETERMINATIONS OF RESTITUTION

A. Restitution not applicable.

B. Total amount of restitution: $ $10,000.00

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. For offenses for which restitution is otherwise mandatory under 18 U.S.C. §§ 1593, 2248, 2259, 2264, 2327 or 3663A, restitution is not ordered because the victim(s)'(s) losses were not ascertainable (18 U.S.C. § 3664(d)(5)). 5. For offenses for which restitution is otherwise mandatory under 18 U.S.C. §§ 1593, 2248, 2259, 2264, 2327 or 3663A, restitution is not ordered because the victim(s) elected to not participate in any phase of determining the restitution order (18 U.S.C. § 3664(g)(1)). 6. Restitution is not ordered for other reasons: (Explain)

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

VIII. ADDITIONAL BASIS FOR THE SENTENCE IN THIS CASE (If applicable)

After considering the advisory recommendations of the United States Sentencing Guidelines and all the factors identified in 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a)(1) - (7), the Court finds the sentence imposed to be sufficient, but not greater than necessary, to comply with the purposes of sentencing as set forth in 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a).
