As part of your supervised release, 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.
I.    You must report to the probation office in the federal judicial district where you are authorized to reside within 72 hours of your
      release from imprisonment, 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.

      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
