You have the best shot of being let of supervised release early if:
- You have completed 2/3 of your supervised release term (or at the very least ½ way through),
- You have had no violations,
- You have complied with all the terms of your supervised release,
- You have paid all restitution and fines, and
- Your probation officer agrees that you should be let off early[1174]
