DEFENDANT: 	JEFFREY RYAN SIMMERMAKER
CASE NUMBER: 	CR 17-88-1
STANDARD CONDITIONS OF SUPERVISION
As part of the defendant’s supervision, 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 the defendant is authorized to reside
within 72 hours of the time the defendant was sentenced and/or released 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. The defendant must also appear in court as required.
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 the defendant’s probation officer.
5) 	The defendant must live at a place approved by the probation officer. If the defendant plans to change where the defendant
lives or anything about the defendant’s living arrangements (such as the people the defendant lives with), 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 the defendant at any time at the defendant’s home or elsewhere,
and the defendant must permit the probation officer to take any items prohibited by the conditions of the defendant’s
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 the defendant’s work (such as the defendant’s position or the defendant’s 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 the defendant knows is engaged in criminal activity. If the
defendant knows someone has been convicted of a felony, the defendant 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) 	As directed by the probation officer, the defendant must notify third parties of risks that may be occasioned by the
defendant’s criminal record or personal history or characteristics and must permit the probation officer to make such
notifications and to confirm the defendant’s compliance with such notification requirement.
13) 	The defendant must follow the instructions of the probation officer related to the conditions of supervision.

CASE NUMBER: 	CR 17-88-1
SPECIAL CONDITIONS OF SUPERVISION
The defendant must comply with the following special conditions as ordered by the Court and implemented by the United States Probation Office:
1. 	The defendant must not have contact during the defendant’s term of supervision with the individuals set
forth in paragraph 145 of the presentence report, in person or by a third party. This includes no direct or
indirect contact by telephone, mail, email, or by any other means. The United States Probation Office may
contact the aforementioned individual(s) to ensure the defendant’s compliance with this condition.
2. 	The defendant must submit the defendant’s person, property, house, residence, vehicle, papers, computers
[as defined in 18 U.S.C. § 1030(e)(1)], other electronic communications or data storage devices or media, or
office, to a search conducted by a United States Probation Officer. Failure to submit to a search may be
grounds for revocation of release. The defendant must warn any other occupants that the premises may be
subject to searches pursuant to this condition. The United States Probation Office may conduct a search
under this condition only when reasonable suspicion exists that the defendant has violated a condition of
supervision and that the areas to be searched contain evidence of this violation. Any search must be
conducted at a reasonable time and in a reasonable manner.
3. 	The defendant must participate in a mental health evaluation. The defendant must complete any
recommended treatment program, and follow the rules and regulations of the treatment program. The
defendant must take all medications prescribed to the defendant by a licensed medical provider.
4. 	The defendant must participate in a substance abuse evaluation. The defendant must complete any
recommended treatment program, which may include a cognitive behavioral group, and follow the rules
and regulations of the treatment program. The defendant must participate in a program of testing for
substance abuse. The defendant must not attempt to obstruct or tamper with the testing methods.
5. 	The defendant must not use or possess alcohol. The defendant is prohibited from entering any establishment
that holds itself out to the public to be a bar or tavern without the prior permission of the United States
Probation Office.
6. 	If not employed at a lawful type of employment as deemed appropriate by the United States Probation
Office, the defendant must participate in employment workshops and report, as directed, to the United
States Probation Office to provide verification of daily job search results or other employment related
activities. In the event the defendant fails to secure employment, participate in the employment workshops,
or provide verification of daily job search results, the defendant may be required to perform up to 20 hours
of community service per week until employed, with the total amount of community service performed not
to exceed 400 hours.
These conditions have been read to me. I fully understand the conditions and have been provided a copy of them.
Upon a finding of a violation of supervision, I understand the Court may: (1) revoke supervision; (2) extend the term of
supervision; and/or (3) modify the condition(s) of supervision.
