Re: 
United States v. Martin Kao, CR 21-00061 LEK 
(Wire Fraud) 
Dear Judge Kobayashi: 
Movant PACMAR TECHNOLOGIES LLC f/k/a MARTIN DEFENSE 
GROUP, LLC f/k/a NAVATEK LLC (“PacMar”), by and through its undersigned 
counsel, respectfully requests that this Court schedule a hearing to determine the 
amount of restitution owed to PacMar, based on a renewed/updated request to be 
filed with the Court. The original restitution hearing was requested by the 
government pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3664(d)(5) [Dkt. 168]. The hearing was held 
on April 30, 2025, and the amounts owed to PacMar as requested then were denied 
by this Court without prejudice, subject to further documentation and refinement of 
the request [Dkt. 180].   
PacMar respectfully requests that the Court schedule a hearing at a time 
convenient to the Court to hear and determine the amount of restitution owed to 
PacMar based on a forthcoming renewed request for restitution which will be 
promptly filed with the Court upon the scheduling of the hearing.  If the Court prefers 
a different procedure, please let us know and we will of course be happy to 
accommodate whatever procedure is easiest for the Court.
