3. Assistant United States Attorney Heiko Coppola has reviewed and approved the property posting package associated with the $140,000 secured appearance bond.
4. The parties stipulate and respectfully request that in light of secured appearance bond, Mr. Tkachev's conditions of pretrial release should be modified to remove the conditions of electronic monitoring and home confinement.
5. In all other respects, the conditions of Mr. Tkachev's pretrial release shall remain the same.
6. Pretrial Services Officer Renee Basurto has no objection to the proposed modification.
7. After this order is signed by the Court, Mr. Tkachev will submit a bond posting packet to the Clerk of the Court that includes a $140,000 appearance bond secured by equity in property owned by Mr. Tkachev's brother and sister-in-law.
