KENDALL J. NEWMAN, District Judge.
IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED between plaintiff, United States of America, and defendant Stephen Wood, through their respective attorneys, that the release conditions imposed on Mr. Wood on April 9, 2013, may be modified as set forth below.
Mr. Wood has a long-standing hobby which involves designing board games. He designs the games, and then sells the design to game publishers. This also provides a modest secondary income. In order to design his games, Mr. Wood needs access to a computer with design software, but does not need internet access. Pre-Trial Services is able to install software on computer designated for Mr. Wood's use which would completely disable internet access, but leave other computing functions intact.
Accordingly, the parties and Pre-Trial Services agree that the following conditions may be modified:
13. You shall not use or possess a computer in your residence or at any other location unless otherwise approved by the pretrial services officer. However, you shall be allowed access to one desktop computer at your wife's residence. This computer will not have internet access.
Further, the parties and Pre-Trial Services agree that the following special condition may be added:
You shall participate in a computer restriction and monitoring program as directed by the pretrial services officer. You shall allow the pretrial services officer to install internet blocking software on the approved laptop. You shall not remove, tamper with, or in any way circumvent the software.
All other conditions shall remain in force.

13. You shall not use or possess a computer in your residence or at any other location unless otherwise approved by the pretrial services officer. However, you shall be allowed access to one desktop computer at your wife's residence. This computer will not have internet access.
