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.
