practice would be --

change but it can only change with

condition of his probation, they are not

address applies, if it doesn't, we fully

recognize that he can't live there.

THE COURT: Mr. Epstein, I need to
make sure you understand that that's what's
required by this plea. Anyone on
probation, community control is required to
live and abide by the laws. So if a
jurisdiction you choose to reside in should
have some additional municipal requirements
you will be required in order to comply
with the law of living there, just like you
can't gat a parking ticket or speeding
ticket, to comply with those regulations
but I want to make sure you understand
because I have seen some defendants who
have been confused about this. If you
don't, for example, if the Town of Palm
Beach has you register that does not take
care of your requirement. Your requirement
to register with FDLE through the Sheriff's
22
office is separate, distinct and must be
23
done on their form according to their
24
schedule.

told me that in addition to everything, we
talked about another Inducement, shall we

the State of Florida, federal prosecutor,
has agreed to a nonprosecution agreement
with you, meaning that if you successfully
complete probation and do everything you're
15
supposed to, they have, have agreed not to
16
prosecute you federally, did you understand
17
that?
18
THE DEPENDANT: Yes, ma'am.

a significant inducement in accepting this
