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, 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 

RELEASE, 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 follow the instructions of the probation officer related to the conditions of supervision. 

5) You must answer truthfully the questions asked by your probation officer. 

6) 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, for example), 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. 

7) 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 these and the special conditions of your supervision that he or she observes in plain 

view. 

8) You must work at least part-time (defined as 20 hours per week) at a lawful type of employment unless excused from doing 

so by the probation officer for schooling, training, community service or other acceptable activities. 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. 

9) You must not communicate or interact with someone you know is engaged in criminal activity. You must not associate, 

communicate, or interact with any person you know has been convicted of a felony, unless granted permission to do so by the 

probation officer. 

10) If you are arrested or questioned by a law enforcement officer, you must notify the probation officer within 72 hours. 

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) 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). 

If the probation officer determines that you pose a risk to a third party, 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. (check if applicable) 

U.S. Probation Office Use Only 

A U.S. probation officer has instructed me on the conditions specified by the court and has provided me with a written copy of this 

judgment containing these conditions. I understand that the court may (1) revoke supervision, (2) extend the term of supervision, 

and/or (3) modify the conditions of supervision upon a finding of a violation of probation or supervised release.
