SEC. 346. Abatement of forfeiture when defendant dies.

(a) In general.—Section 413 of the Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. 853) is amended by adding at the end the following new subsection:

“(t) Special civil forfeiture proceedings when the defendant dies.—

“(1)(A) In any case in which criminal forfeiture has been alleged, if a defendant dies after a plea of guilty or nolo contendere has been accepted or a verdict of guilty has been returned, but before the defendant’s time for direct appeal from the conviction or from a criminal order of forfeiture has expired, or before any such appeal by the defendant, or any posttrial motion or appeal by the Government bearing on the forfeiture or the underlying criminal conviction, has finally been resolved, the criminal forfeiture proceeding shall be converted to a special civil forfeiture proceeding notwithstanding the expiration of any civil forfeiture statute of limitations or any time limitation set forth in section 983(a) of title 18, and shall be concluded as provided herein.

“(B) For purposes of this subsection, a plea of guilty or nolo contendere shall be considered to have been ‘accepted’ if a court has determined, pursuant to Rule 11(b) of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, that the plea is voluntary and supported by a factual basis, notwithstanding that final acceptance may have been deferred pending review of a presentence report or otherwise; a verdict is ‘returned’ when it is orally stated in open court; and ‘direct appeal’ refers to an appeal filed, within the period provided by the applicable rule of appellate procedure, from the entry of the judgment or order of forfeiture, up to and including review by the Supreme Court.

“(2)(A) If a defendant dies after a plea of guilty or nolo contendere has been accepted or a verdict of guilty has been returned, but before entry of a criminal order of forfeiture, the court, after a hearing at which the defendant’s personal representative shall have the same rights to present evidence and argument as the defendant would have had if he had survived, shall enter a special civil order of forfeiture if the court finds, by a preponderance of the evidence, that property, including substitute property pursuant to subsection (p) of this section, is forfeitable as a result of the defendant’s conviction.

“(B) The special civil order of forfeiture shall forfeit to the United States all property, including substitute property, that would have been subject to criminal forfeiture if the defendant had survived, and may constitute, or include, a civil money judgment against the defendant’s estate and any person holding property that would have been forfeitable in the criminal case if the defendant had survived.

“(C) Any third-party interests in property subject to a special civil order of forfeiture shall be determined by the court pursuant to subsection (n) of this section as if the defendant had survived. While the defendant’s personal representative may contest forfeitability of particular property and the amount of any money judgment in a special civil order of forfeiture, third-party claimants under this subsection, as under subsection (n) as applied to criminal orders of forfeiture, may contest only issues of ownership.

“(3)(A) If a defendant dies after entry of a criminal order of forfeiture, but before the defendant’s time for direct appeal from the underlying criminal conviction or when the criminal order of forfeiture has expired, or before any such appeal by the defendant has finally been resolved, the criminal order of forfeiture shall become a special civil order of forfeiture by operation of law, and proceedings bearing on the forfeiture shall continue, and be concluded, pursuant to this section.

“(B) If a defendant dies during the pendency of a posttrial motion or appeal by the Government concerning a court’s failure to announce or enter a requested order of forfeiture or to include such an order in the judgment, other error by the court with respect to the forfeiture, or a court’s postverdict dismissal of a criminal conviction that was a basis for criminal forfeiture, the court in which the matter is pending, on the Government’s motion, shall continue and conclude the proceeding pursuant to this section, and, if the Government prevails, shall enter, or direct the entry by the district court of, a special civil order of forfeiture if the Government makes the showing required by paragraph (2)(A), or the court determines that such a showing was made before the defendant’s death during the proceedings that are the subject of the pending posttrial motion or appeal.

“(4)(A) In all proceedings concerning a special civil order of forfeiture, the court shall consider the relevant portions of the record of the criminal case. That record, including any agreements, admissions, stipulations, findings of fact, conclusions of law, or verdicts bearing upon the defendant’s guilt or the forfeitability of any property of the defendant, and any failure by the defendant to demand a jury verdict on forfeiture, shall be binding on the defendant’s personal representative in the district court, and on any appeal, to the extent that it would have bound the defendant in the criminal case. The record shall be binding upon any third-party claimants to the extent that it would have bound them if the defendant had survived.

“(B) The defendant’s personal representative or the Government may file or pursue an otherwise permissible direct appeal, or an otherwise permissible motion under this section or the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure (other than a motion under Rule 33(b)(1) filed after death or after judgment), to challenge, enforce, correct, amend, modify, or reinstate a special civil order of forfeiture, or to challenge or reinstate a verdict or plea of guilty or nolo contendere on which such an order is, or should be, based. In any such appeal or motion, the death of the defendant shall not itself be a basis for relief.

“(5)(A) Proceedings concerning a special civil order of forfeiture, including any appeal or motion to challenge, enforce, correct, amend, modify, or reinstate such an order or to challenge or reinstate a verdict or plea of guilty or nolo contendere underlying such an order, shall be governed by the provisions of this section and the law and procedures that would have applied if the defendant had survived and the forfeiture proceedings had been conducted and concluded in the criminal case, except that the special civil order of forfeiture need not be included in any criminal sentence or judgment, and the personal representative of the defendant shall be substituted for the defendant. Section 983 of title 18 and section 2465(b) of title 28 shall not apply.

“(B) A personal representative, if not otherwise appointed, shall be appointed by the district court before which the criminal case was filed or by the court of appeals if the matter is pending on appeal at the time of the defendant’s death. Counsel may be appointed for the personal representative of the defendant if counsel would have been available to the defendant under 18 U.S.C. 3006A. The court may toll any applicable deadline during the period necessary to appoint the personal representative and, where appropriate, counsel.

“(C) Appeals by any party from or concerning a special civil order of forfeiture shall be governed by the rules applicable to civil appeals. A special civil order of forfeiture shall be final as to the defendant and the defendant’s estate upon initial entry, and shall be final as to any third-party interests upon entry of any order, or amended order, finally determining such interests pursuant to subsection (n).

“(6) Any forfeiture protective orders in effect at the time of a defendant’s death shall continue in effect unless modified by the court after a hearing or pursuant to a motion by the Government. Upon the Government’s motion, the court shall take any action necessary to preserve the availability of property for forfeiture pursuant to this subsection.”.

“(i) the value of the property at the time of the transfer, plus interest from the time of the transfer;

“(1) the number of identifiable victims is so large as to make restitution impracticable; or

“(2) determining complex issues of fact related to the cause or amount of a victim’s losses would complicate or prolong the sentencing process to such a degree that the need to provide restitution to that victim is outweighed by the burden on the sentencing process.

If the victim subsequently discovers further losses, the victim shall have 60 days after discovery of those losses in which to petition the court for an amended restitution order. Such order may be granted only upon a showing of good cause for the failure to include such losses in the initial claim for restitution.

“(h) Referral to Magistrate or Special Master.—The court may refer any issue arising in connection with a proposed order of restitution to a magistrate judge or special master for proposed findings of fact and recommendations as to disposition, subject to a de novo determination of the issue by the court.

“(i) Burdens of Proof.—Any dispute as to the proper amount or type of restitution shall be resolved by the court by the preponderance of the evidence. The burden of demonstrating the amount of the loss sustained by a victim of restitution as a result of the offense shall be on the attorney for the Government. The burden of demonstrating the financial resources of the defendant and the financial needs of the defendant’s dependents, shall be on the defendant. The burden of demonstrating such other matters as the court deems appropriate shall be upon the party designated by the court as justice requires.

“(j) Order of Payment.—

“(1) Upon determination of the amount of restitution owed to each victim, the court shall order that the full amount of restitution is due and payable immediately.

“(2) The court shall specify in the restitution order the manner in which the restitution is to be paid. The court may provide for payment in installments according to a schedule. The length of time over which scheduled payments are established shall be the shortest time in which full payment reasonably can be made and based on—

“(A) the financial resources and other assets of the defendant, including whether any of these assets are jointly controlled;

“(B) projected earnings and other income of the defendant; and

“(C) any financial obligations of the defendant; including obligations to dependents.

“(3) The court may direct the defendant to take any action, including the repatriation of assets or the surrender of the interest of the defendant in any asset, in order to pay restitution in accordance with this section.

“(1) such a sentence can subsequently be—

“(A) corrected under Rule 35 of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure and section 3742 of chapter 235 of this title;

“(B) appealed and modified under section 3742;

“(C) amended under subsection (g); or

“(m) Supervised Release.—A court shall not terminate a term of supervised release under section 3583(e) before the order to pay restitution has been completely satisfied. A court shall extend a term of supervised release beyond that otherwise imposed under other provisions of law, until the defendant has paid the restitution in full or the court determines the economic circumstances of the defendant do not allow the payment of any further restitution. Such determination is only for the purposes of this subsection and does not affect the obligation to pay restitution or the ability of any entity to enforce restitution under any other provision of law. If the supervised release is extended under this subsection, the court shall order that the sole condition of supervised release shall be payment of restitution.

“(n) Effect of Insurance and Other Compensation.—

“(1) INSURANCE.—In no case shall the fact that a victim receives or is entitled to receive compensation with respect to a loss from insurance or any other source be considered in determining the amount of restitution. If a victim receives compensation from insurance or any other source with respect to a loss, the court shall order that restitution be paid to the person who provided or is obligated to provide the compensation, but the restitution order shall provide that all victims be paid before such a provider of compensation.

“(2) OTHER COMPENSATION.—Any amount paid to a victim under an order of restitution shall be reduced by any amount later recovered as compensatory damages for the same loss by the victim in—

“(A) any Federal civil proceeding; and

“(B) any State civil proceeding, to the extent provided by the law of the State.

“(o) Details of Payments.—

“(1) MINIMUM PAYMENT REQUIRED.—A restitution order may direct the defendant to make nominal periodic payments if the court finds on the record that the economic circumstances of the defendant do not allow the payment of any amount of a restitution order, and do not allow for the payment of the full amount of a restitution order in the foreseeable future under any reasonable schedule of payments.

“(2) IN-KIND PAYMENTS.—An in-kind payment may be in the form of return of property, replacement of property, or if the victim agrees, services rendered to the victim or a person or organization other than the victim.

“(p) Different payment schedules for multiple victims.—If the court finds that more than 1 victim has sustained a loss requiring restitution by a defendant, the court may provide for a different payment schedule for each victim, based on their individual losses and economic circumstances. In any case in which the United States is a victim, the court shall ensure that all other victims receive full restitution before the United States receives any restitution.

“(q) Material Change in Defendant’s Ability To Pay.—The defendant shall notify the court and the Attorney General of any material change in the defendant’s economic circumstances that might affect the defendant’s ability to pay restitution. The court may also accept notification of a material change in the defendant’s economic circumstances from the United States or from the victim. The Attorney General shall certify to the court that the victims have been notified of the change in circumstances. Upon receipt of the notification, the court may, on its own motion, or the motion of any party, including the victim, adjust the payment schedule, or require immediate payment in full, as the interests of justice require.

“(r) Name and address changes.—It is the responsibility of the victim to provide any change in name or mailing address to the court while restitution is still owed. Not later than 30 days after any change in name or mailing or residence address, a person owing restitution shall promptly report the change to the court. The confidentiality of any information relating to a victim shall be maintained.

“(s) Enforcement.—

“(1) GENERALLY.—An order of restitution may be enforced by the United States in the manner provided for in subchapter C of chapter 227 and subchapter B of chapter 229 of this title, or by all other available and necessary means.

“(2) ABSTRACT OF JUDGMENT.—At the request of a victim named in a restitution order, the clerk of the court shall issue an abstract of judgment certifying that a judgment has been entered in favor of such victim in the amount specified in the restitution order. Upon registering, recording, docketing, or indexing such abstract in accordance with the rules and requirements relating to judgments of the court of the State where the district court is located, the abstract of judgment shall be a lien on the property of the defendant located in such State in the same manner and to the same extent and under the same conditions as a judgment of a court of general jurisdiction in that State.

“(3) SPECIAL RULE FOR IN-KIND ORDERS.—An order of in-kind restitution in the form of services shall be enforced by the probation officer.

“(t) Effect of additional resources.—If a person obligated to provide restitution, or pay a fine, receives additional resources from any source, including inheritance, settlement, or other judgment, such person shall be required to apply the value of such resources to any restitution or fine still owed.

“(u) Rights of victims.—

“(1) NOT REQUIRED TO PARTICIPATE.—No victim shall be required to participate in any phase of a restitution order.

“(2) ASSIGNMENT TO FUND.—A victim may at any time assign an interest in restitution payments to the Crime Victims Fund in the Treasury without in any way impairing the obligation of the defendant to make such payments.

“(v) No Cause of Action Created Against the United States or its officers or employees.—Nothing in this section or section or 3663 shall be construed to create a cause of action not otherwise authorized in favor of any person against the United States or any officer or employee of the United States.

“(w) Collateral estoppel.—A conviction of a defendant for an offense involving the act giving rise to an order of restitution shall estop the defendant from denying the essential allegations of that offense in any subsequent Federal civil proceeding or State civil proceeding, to the extent consistent with State law, brought by the victim.”.

The court shall extend probation for such a defendant beyond any term otherwise provided by law until the order is satisfied or the court determines the economic circumstances of the defendant do not allow the payment of any further restitution.

“(4) MONETARY INSTRUMENTS.—If the property in question is a monetary instrument (as defined in section 1956(c)(5)) or funds in electronic form, the protective order issued under paragraph (1) may take the form of a warrant authorizing the Government to seize the property and to deposit it into an interest-bearing account in the Registry of the Court in the district in which the warrant was issued, or into another such account maintained by a substitute property custodian, as the court may direct.

“(5) POST-INDICTMENT.—A post-indictment protective order entered under paragraph (1) shall remain in effect through the conclusion of the criminal case, including sentencing and any post-sentencing proceedings, until seizure or other disposition of the subject property, unless modified by the court upon a motion by the Government or under subsection (b) or (c).

“(2) POST-INDICTMENT.—In the case of a post-indictment protective order entered under subsection (a)(1), the defendant shall have a right to a post-restraint hearing regarding the continuation or modification of the order if the defendant—

“(A) establishes by a preponderance of the evidence that there are no assets, other than the restrained property, available to the defendant to retain counsel in the criminal case or to provide for a reasonable living allowance for the necessary expenses of the defendant and the defendant's lawful dependents; and

“(B) makes a prima facie showing that there is bona fide reason to believe that the court's ex parte finding of probable cause under subsection (a)(1) was in error.

“(3) HEARING.—

“(A) IN GENERAL.—If the court determines that the defendant has satisfied the requirements of paragraph (2), it may hold a hearing to determine whether there is probable cause to believe that the defendant, if convicted, will be ordered to satisfy an order of restitution for an offense punishable by imprisonment for more than 1 year, and that the seized or restrained property may be needed to satisfy such restitution order.

“(B) PROBABLE CAUSE.—If the court finds probable cause under subparagraph (A), the protective order shall remain in effect.

“(C) NO PROBABLE CAUSE.—If the court finds under subparagraph (A) that no probable cause exists as to some or all of the property, or determines that more property has been seized and restrained than may be needed to satisfy a restitution order, it shall modify the protective order to the extent necessary to release the property that should not have been restrained.

“(4) REBUTTAL.—If the court conducts an evidentiary hearing under paragraph (3), the court shall afford the Government an opportunity to present rebuttal evidence and to cross-examine any witness that the defendant may present.

“(5) PRETRIAL HEARING.—In any pretrial hearing on a protective order issued under subsection (a)(1), the court may not entertain challenges to the grand jury's finding of probable cause regarding the criminal offense giving rise to a potential restitution order.

“(2) MODIFICATION.—If, after considering any rebuttal evidence offered by the Government, the court determines that the moving party has made the showings required under paragraph (1), the court shall modify the order to mitigate the hardship, to the extent that it is possible to do so while preserving the asset for restitution.

“(3) INTERVENTION.—

“(A) IN GENERAL.—Except as provided in subparagraph (B) or paragraph (1), a person other than a defendant has no right to intervene in the criminal case to object to the entry of any order issued under this section or otherwise to object to an order directing a defendant to pay restitution.

“(B) EXCEPTION.—If, at the conclusion of the criminal case, the court orders the defendant to use particular assets to satisfy an order of restitution (including assets that have been seized or restrained pursuant to this section) the court shall give persons other than the defendant the opportunity to object to the order on the ground that the property belonged in whole or in part to the third party and not to the defendant, as provided in section 413(n) of the Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. 853(n)).
