In a two-page order, Supreme Court Justice Arthur Ngiraklsong revoked one year of the suspended 14 years and six month imprisonment imposed on Dugan.
The order said Dugan will be released from the one year imprisonment upon full payment of the $10,000 fine.
Ngiraklsong in his two-page amended commitment order said that at a show cause hearing on Tuesday, Dugan presented a receipt for payment of $5,000 leaving the balance of $5,000.
Dugan was earlier ordereddeported and fined $10,000 after pleading guilty to three counts of forgery charges and three counts of attempted cheating. The other charges were dismissed.
Dugan was earlier charged with 39 counts of attempted grand larceny, forgery, attempted cheating, cheating, unlawful issuance of bank checks or drafts and money laundering.
Dugan was sentenced to 15 years imprisonment all suspended except for up to six months in jail. Part of the plea agreement was that Dugan will be testifying “fully and truthfully in Criminal Case 09-193.”
Criminal Case 09-193 is the money laundering case against Senate President Mlib Tmetuchl and President Johnson Toribiong’s brother Lucius Malsol.
Dugan in the previous order is supposed be deported by April 21.
“To allow Mr. Dugan to leave the country without paying the full amount of the fine tantamount to forgiving part of the fine thus the court is not prepared to do so, given the seriousness of the crimes committed by Mr. Dugan and the judgment and sentence of this court,” the order stated.
