LAWRENCE J. O'NEILL, Chief District Judge.
Dr. Eoh, by and through her counsel of record, Assistant Federal Defender Megan T. Hopkins, hereby moves this Court for an order directing the Clerk of Court to release Dr. Eoh's Korean passport. This request is made pursuant to Eastern District of California Local Rule Crim. 430.1 and such statutory and constitutional rules as may be applicable. The government does not oppose this request.
On July 9, 2015, United States Magistrate Judge Jennifer L. Thurston ordered Dr. Eoh released pretrial with certain conditions, including a condition that she surrender her Korean passport to the Clerk, United States District Court. Docket No. 9. In accordance with this condition, Dr. Eoh surrendered her Korean that same day. See Docket No. 12.
Thereafter, Dr. Eoh entered a guilty plea to Count One of a Superseding Information. See Docket No. 58. Dr. Eoh was sentenced to probation on September 4, 2018. See Docket No. 83. Dr. Eoh commenced supervision on September 4, 2018.
Dr. Eoh now requests the return of her Korean passport, to which the government has no objection. Dr. Eoh is no longer on pretrial release and, thus, the condition requiring her to surrender her passport and not obtain a new passport is no longer applicable. There is no condition of probation prohibiting Dr. Eoh from having a Korean passport, although she acknowledges that she cannot the leave the state of California without the permission of the Court or probation officer.
In light of the foregoing, this Court should enter an order directing the Clerk of Court to release Dr. Eoh's Korean passport to her.
The Clerk of Court is hereby directed to release Defendant Na Young Eoh's passport to Dr. Eoh.
