It is further ORDERED that Ferris shall provide the United States with
current accurate evidence of assets, income and expenditures (including but not

It is further ORDERED that the judgment amount shall be paid in monthly
installments, and continuing each and every month thereafter until paid in full.
The amounts of the monthly payments are subject to periodic review by the U.S.

a review of Ferris’ financial situation warrants such an increase.
It is further ORDERED that if Ferris defaults on an agreed monthly
payment plan, then the entire balance shall become immediately due and payable

It is further ORDERED that this Judgment shall be recorded in the Registry

It is further ORDERED that upon payment in full, the United States shall
file a Satisfaction of Judgment with the District Court and the appropriate Registry

It is further ORDERED that judgment be entered in accordance with the
foregoing.
