UNOPPOSED MOTION AND ORDER TO MODIFY CONDITIONS OF RELEASE TO ALLOW FOR TRAVEL
DEBORAH BARNES UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
Defendants have been released on their own recognizance with the only travel restriction being that they surrender their passports to their lawyers. Defendants respectfully request permission to travel outside the United States sometime between October 7, 2021 and October 18, 2021, to Cancun for vacation. The defendants traveled to Mexico in August 2021 and in 2019, while released on their own recognizance without any issues. The defendants further request permission to possess their respective passports for up to one week before and after each trip as necessary to facilitate this travel.
On January 31, 2019, Brian Beland was indicted for three counts of making and subscribing a false tax return, and both Brian and Denae Beland were indicted for one count of endeavoring to obstruct the due administration of internal revenue laws. They made arrangements to appear in court voluntarily for their initial appearance and they were released on their own recognizance.
The defendants request their conditions of release be modified to state: “You may travel to Mexico any time between October 7, 2021, and remain there until any time up to October 18, 2021. You shall return to the Eastern District of California no later than October 19, 2021. You are authorized to possess your U.S. Passports between October 1, 2021, and October 22, 2021. You shall return your passports to your attorneys by October 22, 2021.”
The United States has indicated that it does not oppose this request.
IT IS SO ORDERED
