(c) the defendant returned to the United States without the permission of either the
Attorney General ofthe United States or the Undersecretary for Border and Transportation
Security, Department of Homeland Security; and
(d) at the time the defendant retumed to the United States he was not a citizen ofthe
United States.
3. The defendant agrees to pay the special assessment of $100 at the time of sentencing.
Should the defendant fail to do so, the defendant agrees to voluntarily enter the United States Bureau
of Prisons’ administered program known as the Inmate Financial Responsibility Program through which
the Bureau of Prisons will collect a portion of the defendant’s prison salary and apply it on the
defendant’s behalf to the payment of any outstanding debt ordered.
4. The defendant understands that the District Court must consider the United States
Sentencing Guidelines and the factors set forth in 18 U.S.C. Section 3553(a) in determining an
appropriate sentence. At this stage (prior to the preparation of the pre-sentence report), the defendant
should expect that the Government will recommend that the Court impose a sentence consistent with
the sentencing range set forth by the sentencing guidelines. The defendant understands, however, that
the ultimate determination of an appropriate sentence will be up to the sentencing judge. The Court
may impose a sentence which exceeds, falls below, or is contained within the sentencing range
prescribed by the sentencing guidelines. The defendant expressly acknowledges that if the Court
imposes a sentence outside the range set forth in the sentencing guidelines, or otherwise different than
the defendant expected, or contrary to the recommendation of his attorney or the United States, the
defendant will not be allowed to withdraw his guilty plea on that basis.
5. The United States agrees that in consideration of the defendant's timely guilty plea, the
Government will not oppose a two point reduction in the Offense Level for the defendant's affirmative

acceptance of responsibility, pursuant to Sentencing Guideline Section 3El.l. Further, if the
defendant’s offense level is 16 or greater, the United States agrees to move for an additional one point
reduction in the offense level.
6. It is further agreed by the parties that this Memorandum supersedes all prior promises,
representations, and statements ofthe undersigned patties; that this Memorandum maybe modified only
in writing signed by all the parties; and that any and all promises, representations and statements made
prior to or after this Memorandum are null and void and have no effect whatsoever, unless they comport
with the subsequent written modification requirements of this paragraph.
