ST AND ARD CONDITIONS OF SUPERVISION
As part of your supervised re lease, 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 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 .

to take any items prohibited by the conditions of your supervision that he or she observes in plain view.
7. 	You must work full time (at least 30 hours per week) at a lawful type of employment, unless the probation officer excuses 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
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.
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 permi ss ion of the
probation officer.

10 . 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).
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.

require you to notify the person about the risk and you must comply with that instruction. The probation officer may contact th e
per so n and confirm that you have notified the person about the risk.
