No one has specified how often, 7 how frequently he is to have contact with 6 his parole and probation officer. 9 Confinement to an agreed upon residence 10 during the hours away from employment and 11 12 13 14 public service activity, has that been articulated? MS. BELOHLAVEK: I believe Judge McSorley has a standard order 15 somewhere on the bench up there regarding 16 17 19 20 21 this, I'm told by the prosecutor. MS. LENHARDT: Judge, usually this is the probation sheet she hands out to folks. THE COURT: I have seen those sheets -- I have seen them incorporated in plea agreements which is why I'm asking. 22 MR.

I want to 10 know exactly where he is going to be living 11 and I want it on the record now. It can 12 change but it can only change with 13 preapproval by DOC. I want it crystal 14 clear. I don't want the community control 15 officer who gets this case the day he walks 16 out the Palm Beach County to have any doubt 17 or confusion as to exactly what this 18 defendant is supposed to do, where he is 19 supposed to be when, exactly what I am 20 requesting that officer to supervise. 21 MS.
