VS. 4:11-CR-00035-BRW
YURA KIM THORNELL
ORDER
Pending is pro se Defendant’s unopposed [1] Motion for Early Termination of Probation (Doc. No. 42). I have considered, among other things, the factors set forth in Section 3553(a) of Title 18 to the United States Code, and I am satisfied that terminating Ms. Thornell’s term of probation is warranted by Ms. Thornell’s conduct and the interest of justice. [2] Accordingly, Defendant’s Motion for Early Termination of Probation is GRANTED.
Ms. Thornell also requests “permission for the hold on [her] passport to be lifted” once she has paid her fine and her probation ends. [3] A review of the record shows Ms. Thornell was ordered to surrender her passport to a United States Pretrial Services’ officer and not apply for a new one as a condition of her pretrial release. [4] The Pretrial Services Office is supposed to send surrendered passports of convicted defendants to either the Department of State (if a United States passport) or the appropriate regional office of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (if a foreign passport). [5] Accordingly, it appears Ms. Thornell must apply to the Department of State *2 Case 4:11-cr-00035-BRW Document 44 Filed 02/06/14 Page 2 of 2 for a new passport. To the extent she needs the Court’s permission to apply for a new passport, she has it. And any “hold” or restriction placed by the Court is lifted.
IT IS SO ORDERED this 6 th day of February, 2014.
