Consent MOTION to Include Restitution in the Judgment by USA as to Stephawn Malik Watson. (Attachments: # (1) Text of Proposed Order)(McGuinn, Colleen) Modified on 7/8/2024 (ybs, Deputy Clerk).

The United States filed a consent motion to include restitution in the judgment against Stephawn Malik Watson. The motion, submitted on July 8, 2024, seeks court approval to add a restitution order as part of the final judgment. The filing includes a proposed order for the judge's consideration.

The case currently lacks an assigned judge and specific court details remain undisclosed. The motion indicates that the parties have agreed on the restitution terms and now await judicial endorsement. This step follows the conviction or plea that established Watson's liability, moving the case toward final resolution with financial penalties.

The inclusion of restitution typically aims to compensate victims for losses tied to the offense. The docket does not yet reflect a ruling on this motion, leaving the case active but unresolved. The next procedural move will clarify the restitution amount and formalize it within the judgment.

This development signals the final phase of sentencing, focusing on victim compensation rather than additional criminal penalties. Monitoring the court's response will reveal whether the restitution terms face any challenge or proceed uncontested.
