BEFORE THE HONORABLE DAVID SAM July 6, 1990 8:00 a.m. ALPHA Reported By Court Reporting Service Karen Murakami, CSR, RPR P.O. Box 510047 File No: Salt Lake City, Utah 84151-0047 7-6-90K (801) 532-5645 [new page] Appearances of Counsel: For the Plaintiff: BRUCE C. LUBECK Assistant U.S. Attorney Suite 476 350 South Main Street Salt Lake City, Utah 84101 For the Defendants: MAX D. WHEELER Attorney at Law 11th Floor 10 Exchange Place Salt Lake City, Utah 84111 2 SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH, FRIDAY, JULY 6, 1990, 8:00 A.M. *** THE COURT: There being no legal reason why judgment should not be imposed at this time, the Court having read and considered the matters that have been provided for the Court's consideration, the Court finds now that there is a proper basis for the Court to accept the plea agreement that has been entered into between the United States and Mr. Charles William Goff, Jr., and Charles William Goff, Sr. The Court thereby and therefore will embody in the judgment and sentence the disposition provided for in the plea agreement pursuant to Rule 11(e)(3) of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, which, Counsel, my understanding is the pleas will be held in abeyance for 18 months after which time if the defendants perform pursuant to the imposition of probation which the Court intends to impose upon the Defendants, that Counsel may make an appropriate motion for withdrawal of those pleas at that time. Have I accurately stated that, Counsel? MR. WHEELER: Yes. THE COURT: Mr. Lubeck? MR. LUBECK: Yes, Judge. THE COURT: All right. Very well. There being no legal reason, as I stated, why judgment should not be 3 pronounced in the case of Mr. Charles William Goff, Sr., it will be the order and judgment of the Court that he be placed on probation for a period of two years pursuant to Title 18 United States Code, Section 3651. And having reviewed all the information provided to me by the United States Probation Department, the Court finds the financial situation of Mr. Charles William Goff, Sr., as such that it would not be appropriate to impose a fine. However, in lieu of the fine, it is ordered that Mr. Goff perform 200 hours of community service and the arrangements for that to be made with the United States Probation Department. I will also order that he pay the victim assessment fee in the sum of $50. With respect to Charles William Goff, Jr., it is the order of the Court that he be placed on probation for a period of two years pursuant to Title 18 United States Code, Section 3651. And also having reviewed the financial situation of Mr. Charles William Goff, Jr., the Court finds that his situation is such that it is not appropriate to impose a fine. I will also in his case in lieu of a fine require that he perform 200 hours of community service, arrangements for that to be made with the United States Probation Department, and that he also pay a $50 victim assessment fee. 4 In the case of American Research and Development Company, the Court finds that there are no assets, therefore a fine will not be imposed. The Court will require that there be a special assessment, victim assessment fee of $200, which is required in the case of a defendant other than an individual who is convicted of a felony pursuant to 18 USC 3013(a)(2)(B), and that this assessment fee be paid within 30 days. Now, as conditions of probation, of course, It is required, the standard conditions of probation, and one of those being that there not be any violation of any local, state or federal law. Counsel, if the terms and conditions of probation are met, the Court will then give consideration to the motion which I understand, Counsel, you will make in 18 months. MR. WHEELER: Yes, Your Honor. What I would say, if I could bring it up, in connection with the Goffs' attempts to earn a living, as they are traveling quite a bit, could we have a statement that they may travel? THE COURT: Yes, I have no problem with that. Mr. Lubeck, do you have any problem with that? MR. LUBECK: No, Judge. THE COURT: They may travel. And that will not be in violation of the probation order. 5 MR. WHEELER: Thank you, very much. THE COURT: Very well. Well, the best to you, Mr. Goff, Sr. and Jr., and the Court is of course desirous that probation be followed and that you be able to restore yourselves to your situation. All right. Anything further? MR. WHEELER: No, your Honor. THE COURT: Nothing further, then, the Court will be in recess. MR. WHEELER: Your Honor, Mr. Cameron indicated that he wants it clear that foreign travel is acceptable, that they do leave the country from time to time. Is that problem? THE COURT: I don't have any problem based on the information that has been provided to the Court by the United States Probation Department. I would see no problem with that. Thank you, Counsel. (Whereupon, the matter was concluded.) *** 6
