Writ of habeas corpus in the nature of an application for bail reduction with respect to Corey Lashley upon Queens County Indictment No. 2412/2019. Application by the petitioner to amend the caption to substitute Damien M. Brown as the relator in the proceeding.

ORDERED that upon receipt of a copy of this decision, order and judgment together with proof that the defendant has given an insurance company bail bond in the sum of $500,000 and arranged for electronic monitoring, or has given a partially secured surety bond in the sum of $750,000, with the requirement of 10% down, or has deposited the sum of $350,000 as a cash bail alternative, the Warden of the facility at which Corey Lashley is incarcerated, or his or her agent, is directed to immediately release Corey Lashley.
