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.

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.

probation officer within 72 hours of becoming aware of a change or expected change.

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 IO days in advance is not possible due to unanticipated circumstances, you must notify the probation 

officer within 72 hours of becoming aware ofa 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 fireatm, 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 lasers). 

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.
