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 defendant's 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. 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) If the probation officer determines that the defendant poses a risk to another person (including an organization), the probation officer may require the defendant to notify the person about the risk and the defendant must comply with that instruction. The probation officer may contact the person and confirm that the defendant notified the person about the risk.
13) The defendant must follow the instructions of the probation officer related to the conditions of supervision.

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.
2. The defendant must allow the United States Probation Office to install computer monitoring software on any computer [as defined in 18 U.S.C. § 1030(e)(1)] that is used by the defendant. To ensure compliance with the computer monitoring condition, the defendant must allow the United States Probation Office to conduct initial and periodic monitoring and inspections of any computers [as defined in 18 U.S.C. § 1030(e)(1)] subject to computer monitoring. This monitoring and said inspections will be conducted to determine whether the computer contains any prohibited data prior to the installation of the monitoring software, whether the monitoring software is functioning effectively after its installation, and whether there have been attempts to circumvent the monitoring software after its installation. The defendant must warn any other people who use these computers that the computers may be subject to monitoring and inspections pursuant to this condition.
3. The defendant must not knowingly view, possess, produce, or use any materials that depict sexually explicit conduct as defined in 18 U.S.C. § 2256, or any form of sexually stimulating, sexually oriented, or pornographic materials.
4. The defendant must not knowingly have contact with children under the age of 18 (including through letters, communication devices, audio or visual devices, visits, electronic mail, the Internet, or any contact through a third party) without the prior written consent of the United States Probation Office. The United States Probation Office may work with the defendant and the defendant's family to set up supervised communications and visits with the defendant's biological and legally adopted children.
5. The defendant must not knowingly be present at places where minor children under the age of 18 reside and must not knowingly be present at places where minor children under the age of 18 are congregated, such as residences, parks, beaches, pools, daycare centers, playgrounds, and schools, without the prior consent of the United States Probation Office.
6. The defendant must participate in a mental health evaluation, which may include an evaluation for sex offender treatment. The defendant must complete any recommended treatment program, and follow the rules and regulations of the treatment program. The defendant will be required to submit to periodic polygraph testing at the discretion of the United States Probation Office as a means to ensure that the defendant is in compliance with the requirements of the defendant's supervision or treatment program. The defendant must take all medications prescribed to the defendant by a licensed medical provider.
