THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
DISTRICT OF UTAH
GENERAL ORDER
IN THE MATTER OF THE ADOPTION
23-008
OF STANDARD CONDITIONS OF
(Superseded by General Order 23-014)
SUPERVISION
To establish uniformity in the terms and conditions of supervision of defendants
placed on probation and supervised release, the United States District Court for the
District of Utah hereby adopts the standard conditions of supervision recommended by
the Judicial Conference effective November 1, 2016. The court finds, in accord with the
Judicial Conference and Sentencing Commission, that the following standard conditions
establish the basic expectations for a 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 a defendant’s 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 the time you were sentenced (or within
72 hours of your release from imprisonment in supervised release cases), 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.
3. You must not knowingly leave the federal judicial district where you are
authorized to reside without first getting permission from the court or the probation
officer.
4. You must answer truthfully the questions asked by your probation officer.
5. You must live at a place approved by the probation officer. If you plan to
change where you live or anything about your living arrangements (such as the people
you live with), you 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, you must notify the probation officer within 72 hours of becoming aware
of a change or expected change.
6. You must allow the probation officer to visit you at any time at your home
or elsewhere, and you must permit the probation officer 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 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 designed, or 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.
12. If the probation officer determines that you pose a risk to another person
(including an organization), the probation officer may require you to notify the person
2
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.
SO ORDERED this 20th day of July, 2023.
BY THE COURT:
