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