STANDARD CONDITIONS OF SUPERVISION 
 
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. 
 
1. 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. 
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 40 hours per week) at a lawful type of employment, unless the Court excuses you from 
doing so.  If you do not have full-time employment you must try to find full-time employment, unless the Court 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.

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.  I understand additional information regarding these conditions is available at

(2) if the defendant does not work in a UNICOR job, then the defendant must pay a minimum of $50.00 per quarter toward 
the financial obligations imposed in this order. 
 
Upon release of incarceration, the defendant shall pay restitution at the rate of 15% of monthly gross earnings, until such 
time as the court may alter that payment schedule in the interests of justice.  The U.S. Bureau of Prisons, U.S. Probation 
Office and U.S. Attorney’s Office shall monitor the payment of restitution and report to the court any material change in 
the defendant’s ability to pay.  These payments do not preclude the government from using other assets or income of the 
defendant to satisfy the restitution obligations.
