Mandatory Conditions

The Order Setting Conditions of Release provide information of the Court’s expectations regarding release.  The Probation Officer will review these release conditions with you at your first appointment.  The conditions of release may only be modified by the Court.

The Order Setting Conditions of Release lists four mandatory conditions:

  • The defendant must not commit any federal, state, or local crime while on release.
  • The defendant must cooperate in the collection of a DNA sample if the collection is authorized by 42 U.S.C. § 14135(a).
  • The defendant must immediately advise the court, defense counsel, and the U.S. Attorney, in writing, before any change in address or telephone number.
  • The defendant must appear in court as required and must surrender to serve any sentence imposed.

The Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act of 2006 (“the Act”) took effect on July 27, 2006. The Act requires that a court impose electronic monitoring as a condition of pretrial release in any case that involves a minor victim under specific statutes as outlined in 18 U.S.C. § 3142.
