`

`CONTENDERE
` There being a finding/verdict of GUILTY, defendant has been convicted as charged of the offense(s) of:
`Count 1: 18:1344(2): BANK FRAUD; Count 4: 18:1028A(a)(1): AGGRAVATED IDENTITY THEFT
`The Court asked whether there was any reason why judgment should not be pronounced. Because no sufficient cause to the
`contrary was shown, or appeared to the Court, the Court adjudged the defendant guilty as charged and convicted and ordered that:
`Pursuant to the Sentencing Reform Act of 1984, it is the judgment of the Court that the defendant is hereby committed to the
`custody of the Bureau of Prisons to be imprisoned for a term of:
`51 months. This term consists of 27 months on Count 1 of the Indictment, and 24 months
`on Count 4, to be served consecutively.
`
` It is ordered that the defendant shall pay to the United States a special assessment of $200, which is due
`immediately. Any unpaid balance shall be due during the period of imprisonment, at the rate of not less than
`$25 per quarter, and pursuant to the Bureau of Prisons' Inmate Financial Responsibility Program.
`
`It is ordered that the defendant shall pay restitution in the total amount of $136,286 pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §
`3663A.
`
`The amount of restitution ordered shall be paid as follows:
`Victim Amount
`Wells Fargo Bank $136,286
`
`The Court finds from a consideration of the record that the defendant's economic circumstances allow for
`restitution payments pursuant to the following schedule: Restitution shall be due during the period of
`imprisonment, at the rate of not less than $25 per quarter, and pursuant to the Bureau of Prisons' Inmate
`Financial Responsibility Program. If any amount of the restitution remains unpaid after release from custody,
`monthly installments of at least $250 per month or 10% of monthly income, whichever is greater shall be
`made during the period of supervised release. These payments shall begin 90 days after the commencement of
`supervision.

`
`USA vs. Gabriel Dragomir
`
`Docket No.:
`
`CR 24-00276-ODW
`
`Pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3612(f)(3)(A), interest on the restitution ordered is waived because the defendant does
`not have the ability to pay interest. Payments may be subject to penalties for default and delinquency pursuant
`to 18 U.S.C. § 3612(g).
`
`The defendant shall comply with Second Amended General Order No. 20-04.
`
`Pursuant to Guideline §5E1.2(a), all fines are waived as the Court finds that the defendant has established an
`inability to pay any fine.
`
`Upon release from imprisonment, the defendant shall be placed on supervised release for a term of 4 years.
`This term consists of 3 years on Count 1 and 1 year on Count 4 of the Indictment, all such terms to run
`consecutively under the following terms and conditions:
`
`1. The defendant shall comply with the rules and regulations of the United States Probation & Pretrial Services
`Office and Second Amended General Order 20-04, including the conditions of probation and supervised
`release set forth in Section III of Second Amended General Order 20-04.
`
`2. The defendant shall not commit any violation of local, state, or federal law or ordinance.
`
`3. The defendant shall cooperate in the collection of a DNA sample from himself.
`
`4. During the period of community supervision, the defendant shall pay the special assessment and restitution
`in accordance with this judgment's orders pertaining to such payment.
`
`5. The defendant shall comply with the immigration rules and regulations of the United States, and if deported
`from this country, either voluntarily or involuntarily, not reenter the United States illegally. The defendant is
`not required to report to the Probation & Pretrial Services Office while residing outside of the United States;
`however, within 72 hours of release from any custody or any reentry to the United States during the period of
`Court-ordered supervision, the defendant shall report for instructions to the United States Probation Office
`located at: the 300 N. Los Angeles Street, Suite 1300, Los Angeles, CA 90012-3323
`
`6. The defendant shall not obtain or possess any driver's license, Social Security number, birth certificate,
`passport or any other form of identification in any name, other than the defendant's true legal name, nor shall
`the defendant use, any name other than the defendant's true legal name without the prior written approval of
`the Probation Officer.
`
`7. The defendant shall apply all monies received from income tax refunds, lottery winnings, inheritance,
`judgments and any other financial gains to the Court-ordered financial obligation.

`
`8. The defendant shall submit the defendant's person, property, residence, vehicle, papers, computers, cell
`phones, other electronic communications or data storage devices or media, email accounts, social media
`accounts, cloud storage accounts, or other areas under the defendant’s control, to a search conducted by a
`United States Probation Officer or law enforcement officer. Failure to submit to a search may be grounds for
`revocation. The defendant shall warn any other occupants that the premises may be subject to searches
`pursuant to this condition. Any search pursuant to this condition will be conducted at a reasonable time and in
`a reasonable manner upon reasonable suspicion that the defendant has violated a condition of his supervision
`and that the areas to be searched contain evidence of this violation.
`
`The drug testing condition mandated by statute is suspended based on the Court's determination that the
`defendant poses a low risk of future substance abuse.
`
`Pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a), the Court shall impose a sentence sufficient, but not greater than necessary,
`to comply with the purposes set forth in paragraph (2) of this subsection. The Court, in determining the
`particular sentence to be imposed, shall consider:
`
`1. The nature and circumstances of the offense and the history and characteristics of the defendant;
`2. The need for the sentence imposed -- a. To reflect the seriousness of the offense; to promote respect
`for the law, and to provide just punishment for the offense;
`b. To afford adequate deterrence to future criminal conduct;
`c. To protect the public from further crimes of the defendant; and
`d. To provide the defendant with needed educational or vocational training, medical care, or other
`correctional treatment in the most effective manner.
`
`3. The kinds of sentences available;
`4. The guideline sentencing range;
`5. The need to avoid unwarranted sentence disparities among defendants with similar records who have
`been found guilty of similar conduct; and
`7. The need to provide restitution to any victims of the offense

`
`The defendant must notify the Court (through the Probation Office) and the United States Attorney of any material change in the
`defendant’s economic circumstances that might affect the defendant’s ability to pay a fine or restitution, as required by 18 U.S.C. § 3664(k).
`The Court may also accept such notification from the government or the victim, and may, on its own motion or that of a party or the victim,
`adjust the manner of payment of a fine or restitution under 18 U.S.C. § 3664(k). See also 18 U.S.C. § 3572(d)(3) and for probation 18 U.S.C.

`or trust accounts. Thereafter, for the term of supervision, the defendant must notify and receive approval of the Probation Office in advance
`of opening a new account or modifying or closing an existing one, including adding or deleting signatories; changing the account number or
`name, address, or other identifying information affiliated with the account; or any other modification. If the Probation Office approves the
