STANDARD CONDITIONS OF SUPERVISION
As part of the defendant’s supervised release, 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 they are authorized to reside within 72
hours of their release 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.
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 their probation officer.
5. The defendant must live at a place approved by the probation officer. If the defendant plans to change where they live or
anything about their living arrangements (such as the people living with the defendant), 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 them at any time at their home or elsewhere, and the defendant must
permit the probation officer to take any items prohibited by the conditions of their 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 their work (such as their position or their 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 they know is engaged in criminal activity. If the defendant
knows someone has been convicted of a felony, they 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. Intentionally omitted.
13. The defendant must follow the instructions of the probation officer related to the conditions of supervision.

RESTITUTION
The defendant shall pay restitution in the amount of 	$ 397.265.00 	unto the United States of America.
Pay restitution in the amount of $397,265.00 through the Clerk U.S. District Court. Payment of restitution shall
be forthwith. During any period of incarceration, the defendant shall pay restitution through the Inmate
Financial Responsibility Program at the rate of 50% of the defendant’s income, or $25.00 per quarter,
whichever is greater. The defendant shall pay the restitution during his supervised release at the rate of $500
per month. These payment schedules do not foreclose the United States from exercising all legal actions,
remedies, and process available to it to collect the restitution judgment.
Victim information is outlined in the plea agreement’s financial addendum. Restitution is to be paid to the
victims and distribution is to be made on a pro rata basis. Defendant shall be jointly and severally liable to pay
restitution with co-defendants/co-conspirators for the same losses.
Until restitution has been paid, the defendant shall notify the Clerk of the Court and the United States
Attorney’s Office of any change in the defendant’s mailing or residence address, no later than thirty (30) days
after the change occurs.
The Court has determined that the defendant 	does not 	have the ability to pay interest.
