DEFENDANT: 	STEVEN MICHAEL CONROY
CASE NUMBER: 	0862 2:24CR01036-001
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.

DEFENDANT: 	STEVEN MICHAEL CONROY
CASE NUMBER: 	0862 2:24CR01036-001
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 individual set forth
in paragraph 112 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 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.
4. 	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.
5. 	The defendant must participate in a cognitive behavioral program that addresses anger and/or assaultive
conduct, and the defendant must comply with the rules and regulations of the program.
6. 	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.
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 of supervision.
