02/18/2016 57 ENDORSED LETTER as to (S4-15-Cr-171-05) Larry Werbel addressed to Judge Andrew L. Carter, Jr. from Attorney Richard H. Blake dated February 17, 2016 re: As of February 5, Mr. Werbel was unable to secure a second co-signor. Counsel for Mr. Werbel advised government counsel of the situation and both parties agreed to ask the Court to lower the bond amount to $250,000 if Mr. Werbel could secure a co-signor for that amount. Mr. Werbel has since secured - and government counsel has approved - a second co-signor to sign on the bond. I therefore respectfully ask that Your Honor modify the bail conditions and lower Mr. Werbel's bond amount from $500,000 to $250,000. ENDORSEMENT: So Ordered. (Signed by Judge Andrew L.
