''Today was an important first step, but it's only the first step,'' (Dmitry's attorney Joseph) Burton said outside court. ''Being able to not wear an orange suit is a good thing.''

Subject:Dmitry about to be released on bail!

We just talked with (EFF attorney) Robin Gross, who is down in San Jose for Dmitry's bail hearing. ElcomSoft is putting up a $50,000 bond for Dmitry's bail. Dmitry is being released into the custody of a local man of Russian descent who shares mutual friends with Dmitry.

Dmitry is restricted to Northern California. That's it. The U.S. Attorney will continue to hold Dmitry's passport, which they confiscated when he was arrested. There is no electronic monitoring or otherwise invasive limitation on Dmitry.

As of 11:45am, they were waiting outside the courthouse for Dmitry to emerge, once the bond was paid and he was outprocessed. EFF offline activist Katina Bishop reported that there were a good 50 protesters outside, and the courtroom was packed.

More details re "Dmitry is in San Jose" [initially broadcast by Alex Katalov] --
As of Sat Aug 4 01:27:42 PDT 2001, I have verified that:

Dmitry is currently being held at the following location:

Santa Clara County Dept Of Corrections
http://www.sccdoc.org/
Main Jail Complex
180 West Hedding Street

Their files do not have a "court date" listed for him, since he's listed as being on hold for US Marshal (sp?)

Their website shows visiting information at: http://www.sccdoc.org/visiting.html

Most importantly: Under some circumstances (location, inmate "category), THERE MAY BE A 1 HOUR/WEEK LIMIT ON TOTAL VISITS, so someone maximally "useful" should use that time.

confirmed 5 minutes ago.
Dmitry is still in OK.
he will get 3 stamps tomorrow. He can not get any canteen until transferred.
Anything he has now, will likely be taken from him when he is transferred...even his "clothes". Of course he'll get some new ones...
maybe a fast, at least a prayer is in order...
poor dmitry.

Dmitry Sklyarov, 26, was transferred on Friday from the Las Vegas jail where he had been held since his July 16 arrest, an official said. A spokeswoman for the U.S. Marshall's office in Las Vegas confirmed Sklyarov was being transferred to San Jose where charges against him were filed. She declined to say when he would arrive and how he was traveling, citing security reasons.

As of Friday July 27, 1:45pm PDT, Dmitry is still at North Las Vegas jail. The person answering the phone at the jail seemed to recognize the last name this time; I have a feeling other people have been calling them as well, potentially in large numbers.

Subject: EXACT LOCATION for dmitry

I have just received a voice confirmation from the North Las Vegas Department of Detention/Correction that Dmitry is being held at their facility.

Once again, their contact information is:
North Las Vegas Dept of Detention/Correction
2222 Constitution Way / North Las Vegas, NV 89030

IMPORTANT: In their records, Dmitry's last name is MISSPELLED. Their database has his last name as SKYLAROV (note also that there seems to have been a hand-written correction on the original filing by the FBI agent). Please DO NOT harrass prison officials with phone calls since we may need their cooperation between now and when Dmitry is moved.

When I inquired how long he will be held there, they said that they have no way of knowing because "he is a US Marshal inmate, and may be moved at any time". I guess we knew that already.
