STANDARD CONDITIONS OF PROBATION AND SUPERVISED RELEASE

The Judges of the District of Oregon adopt the following standard conditions of probation and supervised release to apply in every case in which probation and/or supervised release is imposed upon a defendant. The individual judge may impose other conditions deemed advisable in individual cases of probation or supervised release supervision, as consistent with existing or future law.

  1. The defendant shall report in person to the probation office for the district to which he or she is released within 72 hours of release from the custody of the Bureau of Prisons.
  2. The defendant shall not commit another federal, state or local crime and shall not illegally possess a controlled substance. Revocation of probation or supervised release is mandatory for illegal possession of a controlled substance.
  3. The defendant shall not possess a firearm, destructive, or dangerous device.
  4. If the defendant illegally uses drugs or abuses alcohol, has a history of drug or alcohol abuse, or drug use or possession is determined to be an element of the defendants criminal history or instant offense, the defendant shall participate in a substance abuse treatment program as directed by the probation officer which may include urinalysis testing to determine if the defendant has used drugs or alcohol.
  5. The defendant shall submit to a search of his/her person, residence, office or vehicle, when conducted by a United States Probation Officer at a reasonable time and in a reasonable manner, based upon reasonable suspicion of contraband or evidence of a violation of a condition of supervision. Failure to submit to a search may be grounds for revocation. The defendant shall warn any other residents that the premises may be subject to searches pursuant to this condition.
  6. The defendant shall not leave the judicial district without the permission of the court or probation officer.
  7. The defendant shall report to the probation officer as directed by the court or probation officer, and shall submit a truthful and complete written report within the first five days of each month.
  8. The defendant shall answer truthfully all inquiries by the probation officer and follow the instructions of the probation officer. The defendant may decline to answer inquiries if a truthful response would tend to incriminate him/her. Such a refusal to answer may constitute grounds for revocation.
  9. The defendant shall support his/her dependents and meet other family responsibilities to the best of his or her financial ability.
  10. The defendant shall work regularly at a lawful occupation unless excused by the probation officer for schooling, training, or other acceptable reasons.

  13. The defendant shall not knowingly frequent places where controlled substances are illegally sold, used, distributed, or administered.

  18. As directed by the probation officer, the defendant shall notify third parties of risks that may be occasioned by his or her criminal record or personal history and characteristics, and shall permit the probation officer to make such notifications and to confirm the defendants compliance with such a notification requirement. This requirement will be exercised only when the probation officer believes a reasonably foreseeable risk exists or a law mandates such notice. Unless the probation officer believes the defendant presents an immediate threat to the safety of an identifiable individual, notice shall be delayed so the probation officer can arrange for a court hearing and the defendant can obtain legal counsel.
