FACTUAL SUMMARY

Manuel Keith is asking permission to participate in a concert tour from approximately January 19, 2014 through February 11, 2014. Mr. Keith is a musician. He was invited to participate in a tour with the lead act being a rapper who goes by the stage name of "Nipsey Hussle." If the Court wishes, the following is the Wikipedia site for Nipsey Hussle (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nipsey_Hussle). Attached hereto as Exhibit "A," and incorporated herein by reference is a copy of the full tour. Mr. Keith is requesting to join the tour on January 19, 2014 in Cleveland, Ohio and travel with the tour bus, ending his performances in San Antonio, Texas on February 11, 2014. In order to travel to Ohio and return from San Antonio, Mr. Keith is requesting to be allowed to travel from New York City commencing on January 18, 2014 and return to New York City from San Antonio on February 14, 2014.

Prosecuting AUSA Jason Hitt is not opposed to Mr. Keith's request to participate in these concerts and travel with the tour.

On April 19, 2012, Manuel Keith, who lives in New York City, made his initial appearance in U.S. District Court, Eastern District of New York, in the above-captioned action; was released on an unsecured bond; and ordered to appear in the Eastern District of California on May 11, 2012.

On May 11, 2012, Manuel Keith appeared before Magistrate-Judge Dale A. Drozd and was released on the unsecured bond, previously posted, and Special Conditions of Release were imposed.

Relevant "Special Conditions of Release," were as follows:

"No. 3 You are to reside at a location approved by the pretrial services officer and not move or absent yourself from this residence for more than 24 hours without the prior approval of the pretrial services officer;

No. 5 Your travel is restricted to the Eastern District of California and New York City without the prior consent of the pretrial services officer.

For the Court's information, on August 13, 2013, at Docket entry 136, the Honorable Dale A. Drozd, modified Mr. Keith's above travel orders, at Mr. Keith's request and stipulation of AUSA Hitt, to allow him to travel outside the United States on two separate trips during the fall of 2013. He completed these two pleasure trips and returned his passport with no problems whatsoever.
