Dr. Mark Chavez, charged in connection with Matthew Perry's death, has been released on a $50,000 bond

Chavez appeared in federal court in Los Angeles, where he was ordered to surrender his passport and medical license as part of his release conditions

He faces a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison, a three-year supervised release, or a fine of up to $500,000 if convicted

Chavez, who operated a ketamine clinic, is charged with conspiracy to distribute ketamine

He signed a plea agreement with the U.S. Attorney's Office and is expected to plead guilty soon

Court documents indicate that Chavez illegally obtained ketamine by presenting false information and writing unauthorized prescriptions

Chavez allegedly sold 22 vials of ketamine and nine ketamine lozenges to Matthew Perry through another doctor, Dr. Salvador Plasencia

Five people have been charged in connection with Perry's death, including Chavez

Perry's assistant and another individual involved in distributing ketamine have already pleaded guilty

Matthew Perry died on October 28, with the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner ruling his death an accident due to "the acute effects of ketamine."
