UNOPPOSED MOTION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER FOR TEMPORARY MODIFICATION OF CONDITIONS OF PRETRIAL RELEASE

EDMUND F. BRENNAN, Magistrate Judge.

The defendant, GUILLERMO JOSE LEON RAMIREZ, is currently on pretrial release in this district. He has cosigned a bond along with his brother, Aurelio Leon Ramirez, secured by all the equity in his brother's home. See CR 7 in 2:19-cr-011 JAM. Mr. Ramirez resides in Oroville, California.

Mr. Ramirez is charged in 2:19-cr-0011 JAM with one violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g) (felon in possession of ammunition), and in 2:19-cr-0012 MCE with violations of 21 U.S.C. §§ 846, 841(a)(1) (conspiracy to distribute and to possess with intent to distribute fentanyl) (Count 1), and 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1) (distribution of fentanyl) (Counts 2 and 3). See CR 17 in 2:19-cr-11 JAM, and see CR 27 in 2:19-cr-12 MCE. He entered a guilty plea on October 10, 2019, and is scheduled for judgment and sentencing on May 14, 2020.

Mr. Ramirez, through Assistant Federal Defender, Hannah R. Labaree, hereby moves that Defendant's Conditions of Release be temporarily amended to suspend conditions number 11 and 12 (location monitoring and hours of curfew) (CR 23 in 2:19-cr-11 JAM), on January 17 and 18, 2020, with all other conditions to remain in full force and effect.

Condition 12 currently requires that Mr. Ramirez remain inside his residence every day from 9:00 P.M. to 6:00 A.M., and is enforced by Condition 11, which imposes on Mr. Ramirez location monitoring. Defendant requests that special conditions 11 and 12 be temporarily amended such that Mr. Ramirez not be subject to curfew or ankle monitoring on the nights of January 17 and 18. The purpose is to allow Mr. Ramirez to travel to Bakersfield to visit a nephew of his who is incarcerated at the Kern County Jail, located at 1415 Truxtun Ave, Bakersfield, CA 93301. In order to comply with visiting hours, Mr. Ramirez will travel to Bakersfield on the night of January 17 and spend Saturday night, January 18, in Bakersfield. He will return to his home in Oroville, California, on January 19.

On January 15, 2019, Mr. Ramirez' Pretrial Services Officer indicated that Mr. Ramirez is in compliance with his conditions of release. Pretrial Services is not opposed to the temporary removal of the location monitoring and curfew conditions. The Assistant United States Attorney does not oppose this request in light of the Pretrial Services Officer's approval.

Therefore, Defendant respectfully requests that the above-described temporary modification be made to Mr. Ramirez' special conditions of pretrial release for the nights of January 17 and 18.
