STIPULATION AND ORDER EXONERATING BOND

D. LOWELL JENSEN, District Judge.

The United States of America, by and through Assistant United States Attorney Jeffrey Schenk, and Yang Zhao, by and through her counsel Edward W. Swanson, hereby agree and stipulate as follows:

(1) On May 9, 2013, the Court set conditions of release for Dr. Zhao, which included the posting of $250,000 in real property interest to secure Dr. Zhao's appearance.

(2) The parties agree that Dr. Zhao has been in compliance with all her conditions of pretrial release since that date.

(3) The parties have agreed that as a resolution to this case Dr. Zhao will be placed on Pretrial Diversion for a period of 18 months and be required to complete community service hours.

(4) In the normal course, the bond securing Dr. Zhao's appearance would not be exonerated until Dr. Zhao's case is dismissed at the end of the Diversion program.

(5) The parties agree that it is appropriate in Dr. Zhao's case to exonerate her appearance bond before the completion of the Diversion program.

(6) The parties respectfully request that the appearance bond be exonerated and that the Clerk of the Court reconvey the property posted to secure the bond to the posting party.

(7) The parties further agree that Dr. Zhao's passport should be returned to her before the completion of the Diversion program.

(8) The parties respectfully request that Pretrial Services be ordered to immediately return Dr. Zhao's passport to her.

(9) Pretrial Services Officer Silvio Lugo has no objection to the relief requested in this stipulation and proposed order.

IT IS SO STIPULATED.

PURSUANT TO STIPULATION, IT IS SO ORDERED.
