DEFENDANT: ALHAJI KUNDU ALY
CASE NUMBER: 0862 1:23CR00091-001
STANDARD CONDITIONS OF SUPERVISION
As part of the defendant’s supervision, the defendant must comply with the following standard conditions of supervision. These
conditions are imposed because they establish the basic expectations for the 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 the defendant’s
conduct and condition.
1) The defendant must report to the probation office in the federal judicial district where the defendant is authorized to reside within
72 hours of the time the defendant was sentenced and/or released from imprisonment, unless the probation officer instructs the
defendant to report to a different probation office or within a different time frame.
2) After initially reporting to the probation office, the defendant will receive instructions from the court or the probation officer
about how and when the defendant must report to the probation officer, and the defendant must report to the probation officer as
instructed. The defendant must also appear in court as required.
3) The defendant must not knowingly leave the federal judicial district where the defendant is authorized to reside without first
getting permission from the court or the probation officer.
4) The defendant must answer truthfully the questions asked by the defendant’s probation officer.
5) The defendant must live at a place approved by the probation officer. If the defendant plans to change where the defendant lives
or anything about the defendant’s living arrangements (such as the people the defendant lives with), the 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, the defendant must notify the probation officer within 72 hours of becoming aware of a change or
expected change.
6) The defendant must allow the probation officer to visit the defendant at any time at the defendant’s home or elsewhere, and the
defendant must permit the probation officer to take any items prohibited by the conditions of the defendant’s supervision that he
or she observes in plain view.
7) The defendant must work full time (at least 30 hours per week) at a lawful type of employment, unless the probation officer
excuses the defendant from doing so. If the defendant does not have full-time employment, the defendant must try to find full-
time employment, unless the probation officer excuses the defendant from doing so. If the defendant plans to change where the
defendant works or anything about the defendant’s work (such as the defendant’s position or the defendant’s job responsibilities),
the 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, the defendant must notify the probation officer within 72
hours of becoming aware of a change or expected change.
8) The defendant must not communicate or interact with someone the defendant knows is engaged in criminal activity. If the
defendant knows someone has been convicted of a felony, the defendant must not knowingly communicate or interact with that
person without first getting the permission of the probation officer.
9) If the defendant is arrested or questioned by a law enforcement officer, the defendant must notify the probation officer within 72
hours.
10) The 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) The 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) As directed by the probation officer, the defendant must notify third parties of risks that may be occasioned by the defendant’s
criminal record or personal history or characteristics and must permit the probation officer to make such notifications and to
confirm the defendant’s compliance with such notification requirement.
13) The defendant must follow the instructions of the probation officer related to the conditions of supervision.

DEFENDANT: ALHAJI KUNDU ALY
CASE NUMBER: 0862 1:23CR00091-001
SPECIAL CONDITIONS OF SUPERVISION
The defendant must comply with the following special conditions as ordered by the Court and implemented by the United States Probation
Office:
1. The defendant must submit the defendant’s 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. The defendant must warn any other
occupants that the premises may be subject to searches pursuant to this condition. The United States
Probation Office may conduct a search under this condition only when reasonable suspicion exists
that the defendant has violated a condition of supervision and that the areas to be searched contain
evidence of this violation. Any search must be conducted at a reasonable time and in a reasonable
manner.
2. The defendant must participate in a cognitive behavioral program, and the defendant must comply
with the rules and regulations of the program.
3. The defendant must pay any fine, restitution, costs, and/or assessment imposed by this judgment.
4. For as long as the defendant owes any fine, restitution, costs, and/or assessment imposed by this
judgment, the defendant must provide the United States Probation Office with access to any
requested financial information.
5. For as long as the defendant owes any fine, restitution, costs, and/or assessment imposed by this
judgment, the defendant must not incur new credit charges or open additional lines of credit without
the approval of the United States Probation Office unless the defendant is in compliance with the
installment payment schedule.
These conditions have been read to me. I fully understand the conditions and have been provided a copy of them. Upon a finding of a
violation of supervision, I understand the Court may: (1) revoke supervision; (2) extend the term of supervision; and/or (3) modify the
condition of supervision.
