SUPERVISED RELEASE
Upon release from imprisonment, you will be on supervised release for a term of: 5years .

3583(c), the Court has made an individualized assessment as to both the imposition and length of supervised release and
determined supervised release is warranted in this case. Therefore, the defendant is placed on supervised release for a term of
5 years. The term and length of supervised release will provide sufficient, but not greater than necessary time to address the
defendant’s lack of housing upon release from custody, substance abuse history, criminal history and propensity for violence,
and educational or vocational training.
MANDATORY CONDITIONS
1. You must not commit another federal, state, or local crime.
2. You must not unlawfully possess a controlled substance.
3. You must refrain from any unlawful use of a controlled substance. You must submit to one drug test within 15 days of release from
imprisonment and at least two periodic drug tests thereafter, as determined by the court.

future substance abuse. (Check, if applicable.)
4. ☐ You must make restitution in accordance with 18 U.S.C. §§ 3663 and 3663A or any other statute authorizing a sentence of
restitution. (check if applicable)

6. ☐ You must comply with the requirements of the Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act (34 U.S.C. § 20901, et seq.) as

attached page.

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 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.
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.

court or the probation officer.
4. You must answer truthfully the questions asked by your probation officer.

becoming aware of a change or expected change.

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 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 firearm, ammunition, destructive device, or dangerous weapon (i.e., anything that was

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, after
obtaining Court approval, require you to notify that 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.
