requirements of USSG §§5B1.3 and 5D1.2, you shall comply with the following conditions, of

particular importance, you shall not commit another federal, state or local crime during the term of

supervision and the defendant shall abstain from the use of illicit substances:

1) You shall not commit another federal, state, or local crime during the term of supervision.

paraphernalia related to such substances, without a prescription by a licensed medical

practitioner. The use or possession of medicinal marijuana, even with a physician’s written

notification requirement. 16) If you have ever been convicted of a felony, you shall refrain from possessing a firearm, ammunition, destructive device, or other dangerous weapon. If you have ever been convicted

of a misdemeanor involving domestic violence, you shall refrain from possession of any firearm

or ammunition. Possession of a firearm will result in mandatory revocation of your term of supervision. This prohibition does not apply to misdemeanor cases that did not entail domestic

violence, unless a special condition is imposed by the Court. 17) Unless suspended by the Court, you shall submit to one substance abuse test within the first 15 days of supervision and thereafter at least two, but no more than two periodic substance

abuse tests per year of supervision, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §§ 3563(a)(5) and 3583(d); 18) If supervision follows a term of imprisonment, you shall report in person to the Probation Office in the district to which you are released within seventy-two (72) hours of release. 19) You shall pay any monetary penalties as ordered by the Court.

may be grounds for revocation of release. You shall warn any other occupants that the

premises may be subject to searches pursuant to this condition.

agreement and that you have waived your right to appeal and to collaterally attack this matter. The
