STANDARD CONDITIONS OF SUPERVISION  
 
As part of your probation, you must comply with the following standard conditions of supervision.  These conditions are imposed 
because they establish the basic expectations for your 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 your conduct and condition. 
 
1. You must report to the probation office in the federal judicial district where you are authorized to reside within 72 hours of the 
time you were sentenced, unless the probation officer instructs you to report to a different probation office or within a different 
time frame.  
2. After initially reporting to the probation office, you will receive instructions from the court or the probation officer about how 
and when you must report to the probation officer, and you must report to the probation officer as instructed. 
3. You must not knowingly leave the federal judicial district where you are authorized to reside without first getting permission 
from the court or the probation officer. 
4. You must answer truthfully the questions asked by your probation officer. 
5. You must live at a place approved by the probation officer. If you plan to change where you live or anything about your living 
arrangements (such as the people you live with), you 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, you must notify the probation 
officer within 72 hours of becoming aware of a change or expected change. 
6. You must allow the probation officer to visit you at any time at your home or elsewhere, and you must permit the probation 
officer to take any items prohibited by the conditions of your supervision that he or she observes in plain view. 
7. You must work full time (at least 30 hours per week) at a lawful type of employment, unless the probation officer excuses you 
from doing so.  If you do not have full-time employment you must try to find full-time employment, unless the probation officer 
excuses you from doing so. If you plan to change where you work or anything about your work (such as your position or your 
job responsibilities), you 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, you must notify the probation officer within 72 
hours of becoming aware of a change or expected change. 
8. You must not communicate or interact with someone you know is engaged in criminal activity.  If you know someone has been 
convicted of a felony, you must not knowingly communicate or interact with that person without first getting the permission of 
the probation officer. 
9. If you are arrested or questioned by a law enforcement officer, you must notify the probation officer within 72 hours. 
10. You 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. You 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 you pose a risk to another person (including an organization), the probation officer may 
require you to notify the person about the risk and you must comply with that instruction.  The probation officer may contact 
the person and confirm that you have notified the person about the risk. 
13. You 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 
 
I understand that a violation of any of these conditions of supervised release may result in modification, extension, or revocation of my 
term of supervision.

    Judgment -- Page 4 of 7 
 
SPECIAL CONDITIONS OF SUPERVISION 
 
As part of your probation, you must comply with the following special conditions of supervision. 
 
1. You must make full and complete disclosure of your finances and submit to an audit of your financial 
documents at the request of your probation officer. You must provide the probation officer with full and 
complete access to any requested financial information and authorize the release of any financial 
information.  The probation office may share the financial information with the United States Attorney's 
Office. 
 
2. You must not incur new credit charges, or open additional lines of credit without the approval of the 
probation officer. 
 
3. You must submit your person, property, house, residence, vehicle, papers, computers (as defined in 18 
U.S.C. § 1030(e)(1)), other electronic communications or data storage devices or media, or office, to a 
search conducted by a United States Probation Officer.  Failure to submit to a search may be grounds for 
revocation of release.  You must warn any other occupants that the premises may be subject to searches 
pursuant to this condition.  An officer may conduct a search pursuant to this condition only when 
reasonable suspicion exists that you violated a condition of your supervision and that areas to be searched 
contain evidence of this violation.  Any search must be conducted at a reasonable time and in a reasonable 
manner. 
 
4. You must permit confiscation and/or disposal of any material considered to be contraband or any other 
item which may be deemed to have evidentiary value of violations of supervision.
