 DEFENDANT: KELLY JO DRIVER
 Case Number: 4:24-CR-06004-SAB-1

                               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 be truthful when responding to 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. You must follow the instruction of the probation officer related to the conditions of supervision.

sell, give away, or otherwise convey any asset, without the advance approval of the supervising officer.
2. You must not incur any new debt, open additional lines of credit, or enter into any financial contracts,
