SUPERVISED RELEASE
Upon release from imprisonment, the defendant shall be on supervised release for a term of 36 months.
The Probation Office shall provide the defendant with a copy of the standard conditions and any special conditions
of supervised release.

STANDARD CONDITIONS OF SUPERVISED RELEASE

While the defendant is on supervised release pursuant to this Judgment:
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 (if placed on probation) or released from custody (if supervised release is ordered), 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
to report to the probation officer, and you must report to the probation officer as instructed.
3) You must not commit another federal, state, or local crime.
4) 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).
Revocation of supervision is mandatory for possession of a firearm.
5) You must not unlawfully possess a controlled substance.
6) You must refrain from any unlawful use of a controlled substance. You must submit to one drug test within 15 days of release from
imprisonment and at least two periodic drug tests thereafter, as determined by the court. You must contribute to the cost of drug testing
unless the probation officer determines you do not have the ability to do so. Based upon a court order entered during the period of
supervision for good cause shown or resulting from a positive drug test or evidence of excessive use of alcohol, you shall be placed
in the Substance Abuse Intervention Program (SAIP) (or comparable program in another district).
7) 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.
8) You must follow the instructions of the probation officer related to the conditions of supervision.
9) You must answer truthfully the questions asked by the probation officer.
10) 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 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. (If you have been convicted of a crime of violence or a drug
trafficking offense, the probation office is responsible for complying with the notice provisions of 18 U.S.C. § 4042(b) and (c) if you
change your residence.)
11) 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.
12) 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 the position or the 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.
13) 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.
14) If you are arrested or questioned by a law enforcement officer, you must notify the probation officer within 72 hours.
15) 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.
16) 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.
17) You must fully and truthfully disclose financial information as requested by the probation officer related to the conditions of supervision.
Financial information may include, but is not limited to, authorization for release of credit information, bank records, income tax returns,
documentation of income and expenses, and other financial information regarding personal or business assets, debts, obligations, and/or
agreements in which the defendant has a business involvement or financial interest.
18) You must support all dependents.

balance of any monetary obligation resulting from the sentence imposed in the case. Further, you must notify the probation officer of
any change in your economic circumstances that might affect your ability to pay a fine, restitution, or assessment fee. If you become

employment preparation program under the administrative supervision of the probation officer; (b) placed on home detention subject
to location monitoring for a maximum period of 90 days under the administrative supervision of the probation officer (and you must pay
