Felicity Huffman wants her passport back from federal authorities as her supervised release from her college admissions scandal conviction is nearing an end.
Lawyers for the former “Desperate Housewives” star in a Wednesday court filing requested the passport, which is being held by the US Probation and Pre-Trial Services Department.
Huffman was sentenced in September 2019 to two weeks in prison for paying $15,000 to college fixer William “Rick” Singer to inflate the SAT scores of her elder daughter, Sophia.
A Boston federal judge also ordered Huffman to pay a $30,000 fine, complete 250 hours of community and serve one year of supervised release.
In Wednesday’s court filing, Huffman’s lawyers said she “will shortly complete” her supervised released. All other terms of her sentence, her lawyers said, have already been completed.
Federal prosecutors have agreed with Huffman’s passport request, according to the court documents.
Huffman was among dozens ensnared in the bribery scandal implicating parents, coaches and test proctors as part of a wide-ranging scheme that propelled under-qualified applicants into top colleges across the nation.
