`travel was restricted to the State of California and the State of Hawaii at the
`
`discretion of Pretrial Services. Dkt. No. 15.

`3. On May 23, 2022, the trial in this case began and, on June 10, 2022, the
`
`Court declared a mistrial. Dkt. Nos. 443, 485.
`
`4. On June 10, 2022, Mr. Bychak entered a guilty plea to the Superseding
`
`Information, charging conspiracy to violate the CAN-SPAM Act, 18 U.S.C. §
`
`1037(a)(5), (b)(3) and a violation of the CAN-SPAM Act, 18 U.S.C. § 1037(a)(5),
`
`24
`
`(b)(3), both misdemeanors. Dkt. Nos. 479.
`
`5. Mr. Bychak’s sentencing hearing is set for October 3, 2022, at 10:30 a.m.
`
`Dkt. No. 479.
