STIPULATION AND ORDER TO PERMIT INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL FOR FUNERAL

LAWRENCE J. O'NEILL, Chief District Judge.

TO: THE CLERK OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT, HONORABLE LAWRENCE J. O'NEILL AND HENRY Z. CARBAJAL, ASSISTANT UNITED STATES ATTORNEY:

COMES NOW Defendant, SUNITA SINGH, by and through his attorney of record, Virna L. Santos, hereby requesting Mrs. Singh be permitted to travel New Delhi, India from February 8, 2019 until March 1, 2019 for the purpose of delivering her deceased husband's ashes to his birthplace to be scattered in accordance with Hindu tradition. (See Exhibit 1, Copy of travel itinerary.) Mrs. Singh, who is undergoing cancer treatment, will be accompanied by her two sisters, Sunen Devi and Shakuntla Devi.

This travel is necessary to honor a Hindu tradition that requires that the deceased person's oldest son deliver the ashes to the homeland to be scattered in sacred body of water. Mr. Singh's only son, Praveen Singh, is unable to travel due to the charges pending against him in this case. Mrs. Singh has no travel restrictions but seeks the Court's permission to do so with AUSA Henry Z. Carbajal's acquiescence.

IS SO STIPULATED.
