Re: United States v. Spitzer, et. al., 24 Cr. 528 (ESK)

Dear Judge Kiel,

We write on behalf of our client, Arthur Spitzer, to respectfully request that the Court
modify the conditions of release imposed in this case at the arraignment hearing on September 3,
2024. At that time, the Court ordered, among other conditions, release on a $250,000 secured
appearance bond with travel restricted to the District of New Jersey and, for purposes of attending
attorney visits only, the Eastern and Southern Districts of New York. The Court later modified
the travel conditions allowing Mr. Spitzer to travel to the Eastern District of New York as needed
for medical and/or mental health treatment. Mr. Spitzer seeks temporary modification of the travel
conditions to allow him to travel to Brooklyn, in the Eastern District of New York, to attend a
religious event with family related to the Jewish holiday of Purim the evening of March 15, 2025.

We contacted Pretrial Services Officer Todd Jones about the instant modification request.
Mr. Jones informed us that Pretrial Services has no objection. We also contacted Assistant United
States Attorney Daniel Friedman about the instant modification request. Mr. Friedman informed

us that the government has no objection.

Thank you for your consideration of this matter.

Respectfully Submitted,
