Specifically, the parties recommend that In support of this motion,

the Court impose the following conditions: (a) home

confinement at the residence of a third-party custodian; (b) defendant shall be monitored for 24 hours a day on an electronic bracelet; and (c) his release will be secured by a secured bond in the amount of $100,000.

time to confer about how this matter should proceed and therefore, request a continuance until May 16, 2013 or thereafter.
