Louisiana Motion and Order to Amend Bond

This is an example of a motion by a defendant in a criminal matter, through counsel, who requests that his bond be amended. Instead of the bond amount set by the court, the defendant requests to be allowed to post a cash bond in a particular amount and a personal recognizance bond in a particular amount. The defendant also agrees to the court’s special conditions for amending the bond, as specified in the document. An attached order grants the motion, upon condition of the defendant’s compliance with the conditions of the bond during the pendency of the criminal proceedings.
