                               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 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.

 F     ☒ Special instructions regarding the payment of criminal monetary penalties:
            It is ordered that the Defendant shall pay to the United States a special assessment of $200.00, which shall be due
            immediately. Said special assessment shall be paid to the Clerk, U.S. District Court.

            Any monetary penalty that remains unpaid when the Defendant's supervision commences is to be paid on a
            monthly basis at a rate of at least 10% of the Defendant's gross income. The percentage of gross income to be
            paid with respect to any restitution is to be changed during supervision, if needed, based on the Defendant's
            changed circumstances, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3664(k) and 18 U.S.C. § 3572(d)(3). If the Defendant receives an
            inheritance, any settlements, gifts, tax refunds, bonuses, lawsuit awards, and any other receipt of money, the
            Defendant must, within 5 days of receipt, apply 100% of the value of such resources to any financial penalty
            ordered. None of the payment terms imposed by this Judgment preclude or prohibit the government from
            enforcing the unpaid balance of the restitution or monetary penalties imposed herein.

Unless the court has expressly ordered otherwise, if this judgment imposes imprisonment, payment of criminal monetary penalties is
due during imprisonment. All criminal monetary penalties, except those payments made through the Federal Bureau of Prisons’
Inmate Financial Responsibility Program, are made to the clerk of the court.

The defendant shall receive credit for all payments previously made toward any criminal monetary penalties imposed.

      Joint and Several
       See above for Defendant and Co-Defendant Names and Case Numbers (including defendant number), Total Amount, Joint and
       Several Amount, and corresponding payee, if appropriate.

       ☒ Defendant shall receive credit on his restitution obligation for recovery from other defendants who contributed to the same
       loss that gave rise to defendant's restitution obligation.
