STANDARD CONDITIONS OF SUPERVISION
As part of Defendant’s supervised release, Defendant must comply with the following standard conditions of supervision.
These conditions are imposed because they establish the basic expectations for 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 Defendant’s conduct and condition.

1. Defendant must report to the probation office in the federal judicial district where Defendant is authorized to reside
within 72 hours of Defendant’s release from imprisonment, unless the probation officer instructs Defendant to report
to a different probation office or within a different time frame.
2. After initially reporting to the probation office, Defendant will receive instructions from the court or the probation
officer about how and when Defendant must report to the probation officer, and Defendant must report to the
probation officer as instructed.
3. Defendant must not knowingly leave the federal judicial district where Defendant is authorized to reside without first
getting permission from the court or the probation officer.
4. Defendant must answer truthfully the questions asked by Defendant’s probation officer
5. Defendant must live at a place approved by the probation officer. If Defendant plans to change where Defendant
lives or anything about Defendant’s living arrangements (such as the people Defendant lives with), 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, Defendant must notify the probation officer within 72 hours of
becoming aware of a change or expected change.
6. Defendant must allow the probation officer to visit Defendant at any time at Defendant’s home or elsewhere, and
Defendant must permit the probation officer to take any items prohibited by the conditions of Defendant’s
supervision that the probation officer observes in plain view.
7. Defendant must work full time (at least 30 hours per week) at a lawful type of employment, unless the probation
officer excuses Defendant from doing so. If Defendant does not have full-time employment Defendant must try to
find full-time employment, unless the probation officer excuses Defendant from doing so. If Defendant plans to
change where Defendant works or anything about Defendant’s work (such as Defendant’s position or Defendant’s
job responsibilities), 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, Defendant must
notify the probation officer within 72 hours of becoming aware of a change or expected change.
8. Defendant must not communicate or interact with anyone Defendant knows is engaged in criminal activity. If
Defendant knows someone has been convicted of a felony, Defendant must not knowingly communicate or interact
with that person without first getting the permission of the probation officer.
9. If Defendant is arrested or questioned by a law enforcement officer, Defendant must notify the probation officer
within 72 hours.
10. 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. 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. If the probation officer determines that Defendant poses a risk to another person (including an organization), the
probation officer may require Defendant to notify the person about the risk and Defendant must comply with that
instruction. The probation officer may contact the person and confirm that Defendant has notified the person about
the risk.
13. Defendant must follow the instructions of the probation officer related to the conditions of supervision.
