United States v. Perez, 2:18-cr-00354

Judgment entered Oct. 28, 2019 by U.S. District Judge Dale S. Fischer imposing sentence and conditions of supervision.
Financial sanctions: special assessment of $100 due immediately; all fines waived under U.S.S.G. §5E1.2(a) because the defendant established inability to pay.
Defendant ordered to surrender to the BOP-designated institution by 12:00 p.m. on Feb. 3, 2020 (or report to the U.S. Marshal); court recommended designation to a Southern California facility and consideration for First Step Act programs.
Sentence was imposed pursuant to the 18 U.S.C. §3553(a) sentencing factors and the guideline range as reflected in the transcript.
Standard conditions of probation/supervised release were imposed (e.g., no new crimes, reporting requirements, residence and travel restrictions, employment, no firearms, avoidance of criminal associates).
Special financial conditions imposed: provide credit-authorizing release, tax returns, and an accurate financial statement; maintain one personal checking account for income and payments; obtain probation approval before transferring assets > $500 or opening credit; notice obligations for address and material financial changes; rules governing application of payments and interest.
