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.

I. 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.

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 IO 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.

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 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 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.
I 0. 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, based on your criminal record, personal history or characteristics, that you pose a risk to
another person (including an organization), the probation officer, with the prior approval of the Court, 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.
