`RE: Petr Pacas Travel Request
`
`Dear Nicole,
`
`Thank you your thoughtful email introduction. I am including my colleague Melanie Pierson whom you already “know,”
`as well as Candy Heath from DOJ’S Computer Crime and Intellectual Property Section. While, as your client is likely
`already aware, the CDC has issued a high risk warning for travel to the Czech Republic due to public health concerns, we
`do not oppose Mr. Pacas’s request to travel there to visit family.
`
`Take care,
`Sabrina

`
`Dear Melanie and Sabrina,
`
`First, I am writing to introduce myself – I will be joining the defense team on behalf of Mr. Pacas (along with my
`colleagues Gary Lincenberg and Darren Patrick) to take the place of Naeun Rim, who recently left the firm. It is a
`pleasure to meet you by email. My office contact information is below and my cell, should you need to reach me
`urgently for any reason, is 818‐448‐5807.
`
`Second, I wanted to let you know that we plan to ask the Court to modify Mr. Pacas’s bond conditions to allow him to
`travel to the Czech Republic to visit his family this month. As set forth below, his pretrial services officer did not object
`to our request, provided that Mr. Pacas provides his travel information in advance and contacts pretrial services before
`and after his travel. I understand your office does not generally stipulate to these requests, but may I note your non‐
`objection?
`
` I
`
` look forward to working together.
`
`
`Best,
`Nicole
`

`CAUTION - EXTERNAL:
`
`
`Dear Officer Parris,
`
`First, it is a pleasure to meet you—I have replaced my former colleague Naeun Rim as counsel for Petr Pacas. My office
`contact information is below, and my cell is 818‐448‐5807.
`
`Second, I wanted to let you know we will be seeking a Court order to allow Mr. Pacas to travel to the Czech Republic to
`visit his family this month. No arrangements have yet been made, so we would request that he be permitted to travel in
`June with a return date on or before July 15, 2021. Do you have any objection to Mr. Pacas’s travel provided that (1) he
`gives his flight and accommodation information to pretrial services in advance, and (2) calls pretrial services prior to and
`upon returning?
`
`Thank you,
`Nicole
