AO 199A: Order Setting Conditions of Release
AO 199A, Order Setting Conditions of Release, is an order a United States District Court issues in a case brought by the United States of America against a defendant. The U.S. Courts page lists it under Pretrial Release and Appearance Bond Forms, effective on June 1, 2019, and the PDF prints the edition (Rev. 06/19).
It is an order of the court, not a form the public files. It opens with "IT IS ORDERED that the defendant's release is subject to these conditions" and prints five: the defendant must not violate federal, state, or local law while on release, must cooperate in the collection of a DNA sample if it is authorized by 34 U.S.C. § 40702, must give written notice before any change of residence or telephone number, must appear in court as required, and must sign an Appearance Bond, if ordered. The header reads Page 1 of ___ Pages.
This page explains the form in plain words and is not legal advice. You can fill it out free in your browser on this page and download the result without an account.
