Re: United States v. Lev Parnas, et. al., 19-cr-725 (JPO)

Dear Judge Oetken:

Lev Parnas respectfully moves for modification of the terms of his pre-trial release, to
allow him to travel to Washington DC tomorrow, to attend the Senate trial with his counsel.
Earlier this afternoon, I received an e-mail from Amy Mannering, Director of Operations for
Senator Chuck Schumer’s Office, informing that my request for tickets to the trial had been
granted. Mr. Parnas, Ms. Schuman and I are allowed to attend tomorrow, Wednesday, January
29th from 12:30 to 2:45 pm. (Exhibit A).

SDNY USPTO Dennis Khilkevich advises that, for this to be achieved, Mr. Parnas would
first have to travel to New York to have his GPS monitoring device removed, so that he is
permitted to enter the Senate Gallery. (Exhibit B). Mr. Parnas would then travel with counsel to
DC, and return to New York at the end of the proceeding to have the GPS device replaced.

I have communicated with the Government, which does not object to Mr. Parnas attending the Senate trial,
but does object to removal of his GPS monitoring device. I have also spoken with Pre-Trial Services Officer Dennis
Khilkevich, who defers to the Government.

On consent of the government, the request for a


modification of the terms of pretrial release to allow travel
to and from Washington, DC on January 29, 2020, is granted.
To the extent that it seeks the removal of the GPS
monitoring device, the request is denied.
So ordered:
January 28, 2020
