Opinion
Case No. 11-20551-14
08-01-2013
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff, v. WALEED YAGHMOUR, Defendant.
ORDER DENYING DEFENDANT'S MOTION TO AMEND BOND CONDITIONS
Defendant Waleed Yaghmour again moves to amend and relax his bond conditions to allow him, among other things, to more freely travel and to attend group religious services. [Dkt # 565]. The government opposes the motion. No hearing on is requested by either party.
On June 18, 2013, the court held a hearing on Defendant's earlier motion to relax travel restrictions, and on the record carefully considered Defendant's arguments, but rejected them. In support of the present motion, there are no additional reasons offered other than the asserted urgency and seasonal nature of the group religious services Defendant seeks to attend. Defendant does not explain, or even assert, that the existing travel restrictions prohibit him from observing religious obligations, but only that he would not be in a group setting in a location distant from his home. The court is not persuaded. For the reasons stated on the record during the June 18 hearing,
IT IS ORDERED that Defendant's motion to amend bond conditions [Dkt. # 565] is DENIED.
