Re: 
United States v. Chanette Lewis, 21 Mj. 9354 (UA) 
 
Dear Judge Netburn: 
 
 
I write with the consent of pretrial and the government to request a modification of 
Chanette Lewis’s bail conditions to add a mental health treatment provision. Prior to her 
arrest in this case on October 5, 2021, Ms. Lewis had been receiving mental health treatment 
on her own. Since her arrest Ms. Lewis has reached out to Pretrial Services for their 
assistance who have been working with her. Pretrial Services has advised that they cannot 
assist Ms. Lewis with treatment and obtaining related resources without the mental health 
condition. The addition of this condition would enable them to ensure she is receiving proper 
care.  
 
On October 5, 2021, Magistrate Judge Parker set conditions of release including the 
following: a $200,000 personal recognizance bond to be signed by 2 FRP'S (Mother to Sign 
for Moral), Travel Limited to SDNY/EDNY, Surrender Travel Documents (& No New 
Applications); pretrial supervision as directed by Pretrial Services; Deft to Continue or Seek 
Employment. The conditions also include no contact with co-defendants outside presence of 
counsel; deft may not possess personal identifying information of others (except her 
children); or create any fraudulent documents; deft shall not open any new financial, 
business, or personal bank accounts, debit or credit card accounts, lines of credit, or loans 
without prior approval from PTS.  
 
Ms. Lewis has a history of mental health treatment and is currently in need of 
additional resources. Pretrial Services is eager to assist but require the additional condition to 
do so. The Government has no objection. Thank you for your consideration of this matter.  
 
Respectfully submitted,
