Order — United States v. Jessica Heinlein (Western District of Washington, Document 42)

Summary

Order in the Western District of Washington at Tacoma granting Defendant Jessica Heinlein's motion to modify her probation conditions. The motion asks to allow access to a PayPal account “for the sole purpose of obtaining potential employment” at a company called Data Annotation, which might hire her to conduct freelance work. The Government opposes, while the Probation Office does not oppose and notes that her employment should still ultimately be approved by Probation. The Court adopts Probation's amended phrasing, authorizing one checking account, one brokerage account (for day trading), and one PayPal account that must be disclosed to the probation office.

 9         v.

10   JESSICA HEINLEIN,

11                           Defendant.

12

13         This matter is before the Court on Defendant Jessica Heinlein’s motion to modify

14   her probation conditions. Dkt. 39. She requests to change her conditions to allow her

15   access to a PayPal account “for the sole purpose of obtaining potential employment” at a

16   company called Data Annotation, which might hire her to conduct freelance work. Id. at

17   1.

18         The Government opposes her request. Dkt. 40. It emphasizes that she “has failed

19   to comply with Probation’s instructions about handling her finances” and argues that “the

20   proposed modification is pointless because the Probation Office will not authorize

21   Heinlein to work at Data Annotation.” Id. at 1–2.

 1         The Probation Office does not oppose the modification. Dkt. 41. It notes that her

 2   employment should still ultimately be approved by Probation, but it concludes that Data

 3   Annotation appears to be a legitimate company. Id. at 2.

 4         The motion to modify Heinlein’s conditions of probation, Dkt. 39, is GRANTED.

 5   The Court adopts Probation’s amended phrasing of the new condition, which reads as

 6   follows:

 7         4. The defendant is authorized to have one checking account in her name,
           as well as one brokerage account (for day trading), and one PayPal account.
 8         All income, monetary gains, or other pecuniary proceeds shall be deposited
           into these accounts and used for payment of all personal expenses. The
 9         defendant is only allowed to receive approved employment funds into the
           PayPal account, and those funds must be transferred to her checking
10         account in a timely manner. These accounts, and all other bank accounts,
           must be disclosed to the probation office.
11
           IT IS SO ORDERED.
12
           Dated this 6th day of September, 2024.
