APPLICATION FOR ORDER EXONERATING BOND AND FOR RECONVEYANCE OF PROPERTY; ORDER
Defendant Vladimir Blasko hereby moves this court under Fed. R. Crim. P. 46(g) for exoneration of the property bond and full reconveyance of the Deed of Trust currently on file with the Fresno County Recorder as Deed # 2019-0015708 and original straight note.
On August 6, 2018, a hearing was held in this matter. See Dkt. #49. At the hearing, Mr. Blasko was ordered released from custody under the supervision of a third party custodian on terms and conditions that included a $10,000 cash bond. On February 08, 2018, the court ordered an increase of the bond to include a property bond of $150,000.00. See Dkt. #70. The secured bond was posted by Jeffrey C. Kollenkark and Melissa A. Kollenkark as follows:

In late 2022, Mr. and Mrs. Kollenkark requested the ability to sell their property which was encumbered by the bond. Counsel for Mr. Blasko contacted the Government and a stipulation and proposed order to Modify Collateral Source was prepared and filed with the court allowing for a replacement bond with property owned by Vladimir Blasko and his wife, Martina Gregusova. See Dkt #77. On February 8, 2023, the Court signed the Stipulation and Order to Modify Collateral Source. See Dkt #78. On February 23, 2023, the new collateral was received by the Court as follows:
