UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff, v. AMAYRANI ARREGUIN, Defendant.
Barbara Hope O'Neill, Attorney for Amayrani Arreguin.
Barbara Hope O'Neill, Attorney for Amayrani Arreguin.
REQUEST FOR MODIFICATION OF PRETRIAL RELEASE CONDITION OF LOCATION MONITOR AND CURFEW ORDER THEREON
BARBARA A. MCAULIFFE, UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE.
IT IS HEREBY REQUESTED that a pretrial Release Modification be granted to allow a change in the Additional Release Conditions of Release. It is requested that Item (7)(n), Location Monitoring and Curfew be stricken as a condition of release.
The Eastern District of California held a Detention Hearing on Ms. Arreguin's matter on April 1, 2021. She was released on certain conditions one of them being that she must participate in the Location Monitoring program and adhere to a Curfew. (Doc. 65, item (7)(n)).
Frank Guerrero, Intensive Supervision Specialist U.S. Pretrial Service, Ms. Arreguin pretrial officer recommends that the location monitoring and curfew requirement be stricken. Mr. Guerrero outlined the reasons for his recommendation in an email:
Ms. Arreguin has secured two jobs. One is as an agricultural farm laborer where she is in the company of her grandfather the whole time. The second one is at a local Jack in the Box restaurant. She is also caring full-time for her fiance who is incapacitated due to a personal injury he suffered. She is often having to work
early morning hours in the fields so she can be home early enough to help care for her fiance before she has to leave to work her second job. There have been occasions when she has had to take her fiance to the emergency room due to medical complications. (See Declaration of Counsel attached).
Christopher D. Baker, the Assistant U.S. Attorney prosecuting Ms. Arreguin's case stated, in an email: “that defendant's new employment and caregiving responsibilities for her recently injured fiance constitute sufficient changed circumstances for the Court to consider Pretrial's recommendation that the location monitoring and curfew condition be amended.” (See Declaration).
