AO 245B (Rev. 09/19) Judgment in a Criminal Case 
Page 4 of 7 
STANDARD CONDITIONS OF SUPERVISION 
 
As part of Defendant’s supervised release, Defendant must comply with the following standard conditions of supervision.  
These conditions are imposed because they establish the basic expectations for Defendant’s behavior while on 
supervision and identify the minimum tools needed by probation officers to keep informed, report to the court about, and 
bring about improvements in Defendant’s conduct and condition.  
1. 
Defendant must report to the probation office in the federal judicial district where Defendant is authorized to reside 
within 72 hours of Defendant’s release from imprisonment, unless the probation officer instructs Defendant to report 
to a different probation office or within a different time frame. 
2. 
After initially reporting to the probation office, Defendant will receive instructions from the court or the probation 
officer about how and when Defendant must report to the probation officer, and Defendant must report to the 
probation officer as instructed. 
3. 
Defendant must not knowingly leave the federal judicial district where Defendant is authorized to reside without first 
getting permission from the court or the probation officer. 
4. 
Defendant must answer truthfully the questions asked by Defendant’s probation officer  
5. 
Defendant must live at a place approved by the probation officer. If Defendant plans to change where Defendant 
lives or anything about Defendant’s living arrangements (such as the people Defendant lives with), Defendant must 
notify the probation officer at least 10 days before the change. If notifying the probation officer in advance is not 
possible due to unanticipated circumstances, Defendant must notify the probation officer within 72 hours of 
becoming aware of a change or expected change. 
6. 
Defendant must allow the probation officer to visit Defendant at any time at Defendant’s home or elsewhere, and 
Defendant must permit the probation officer to take any items prohibited by the conditions of Defendant’s 
supervision that the probation officer observes in plain view. 
7. 
Defendant must work full time (at least 30 hours per week) at a lawful type of employment, unless the probation 
officer excuses Defendant from doing so.  If Defendant does not have full-time employment Defendant must try to 
find full-time employment, unless the probation officer excuses Defendant from doing so. If Defendant plans to 
change where Defendant works or anything about Defendant’s work (such as Defendant’s position or Defendant’s 
job responsibilities), Defendant must notify the probation officer at least 10 days before the change. If notifying the 
probation officer at least 10 days in advance is not possible due to unanticipated circumstances, Defendant must 
notify the probation officer within 72 hours of becoming aware of a change or expected change. 
8. 
Defendant must not communicate or interact with anyone Defendant knows is engaged in criminal activity.  If 
Defendant knows someone has been convicted of a felony, Defendant must not knowingly communicate or interact 
with that person without first getting the permission of the probation officer. 
9. 
If Defendant is arrested or questioned by a law enforcement officer, Defendant must notify the probation officer 
within 72 hours. 
10. 
Defendant must not own, possess, or have access to a firearm, ammunition, destructive device, or dangerous 
weapon (i.e., anything that was designed, or was modified for, the specific purpose of causing bodily injury or death 
to another person, such as nunchakus or tasers). 
11. 
Defendant must not act or make any agreement with a law enforcement agency to act as a confidential human 
source or informant without first getting the permission of the court. 
12. 
If the probation officer determines that Defendant poses a risk to another person (including an organization), the 
probation officer may require Defendant to notify the person about the risk and Defendant must comply with that 
instruction.  The probation officer may contact the person and confirm that Defendant has notified the person about 
the risk. 
13. 
Defendant must follow the instructions of the probation officer related to the conditions of supervision. 
 
 
U.S. Probation Office Use Only 
 
A U.S. probation officer has instructed me on the conditions specified by the court and has provided me with a written 
copy of this judgment containing these conditions. For further information regarding these conditions, see Overview of 
Probation and Supervised Release Conditions, available at: www.uscourts.gov.

While in the custody of the Bureau of Prisons, Defendant shall either (1) pay at least $25 quarterly if Defendant has 
non-Unicor or (2) pay at least 50 percent of your monthly earnings if working Defendant has a Unicor position.  Upon 
release from custody, Defendant is ordered to begin making payments of $300.00 per month and this payment 
schedule shall continue until such time as the Court is notified by Defendant, the victim or the government that there 
has been a material change in Defendant’s ability to pay.  The Court finds that the defendant does not have the 
ability to pay interest and the Court waives the interest requirement for the restitution. The Court finds that the 
defendant does not have the ability to pay interest and the Court waives the interest requirement for the restitution. 
 
Unless the court has expressly ordered otherwise in the special instructions above, if this judgment imposes a period of 
imprisonment, payment of criminal monetary penalties shall be due during the period of imprisonment.  All criminal monetary 
penalties, except those payments made through the Federal Bureau of Prisons’ Inmate Financial Responsibility Program, 
are made to the clerk of the court, unless otherwise directed by the court, the probation officer, or the United States attorney.
