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 his grandfather’s home in Brooklyn, in the Eastern District of
New York, on Thursday, May 22, 2025. Mr. Spitzer’s great-aunt recently passed away and his
grandfather is sitting Shiva (the seven-day period of mourning in the Jewish faith). Mr. Spitzer
wants to pay his respects and sit Shiva with his grandfather. Mr. Spitzer agrees that he will not
communicate with anyone associated with the case if they are present.

We contacted Pretrial Services Officer Todd Jones and Assistant United States Attorney
Daniel Friedman about the instant modification request. Pretrial Services and the government
have no objection.

Thank you for your consideration of this matter.

Respectfully Submitted,

/s/ WS
