First of all, I think that you are confusing terms. Federal probation is a term applied to people who have not served a prison sentence, whereas supervised release (the analogous term to what used to be called parole) is for people who have served a prison sentence. Having said that, whether you are on probation or supervised release, you cannot move unless your supervision is transferred to California. The probation office and AUSA must be consulted, and the judge must approve any such transfer. My suggestion is that you consult with a lawyer who does federal work in Pennsylvania.

You would need to obtain permission from the Court/probation officer. Generally, an individual who is on supervised release should never change residence without permission/notifying but I can't advise you since I am not familiar with the facts of your case nor do I practice in Pennsylvania.
Therefore I recommend you contact the attorney who originally represented you, or consult a local attorney in Pennsylvania, or the local Federal Public Defender to make sure that you handle the matter properly. This is very important.
I agree with the assessments of both of my colleagues, regardless of whether you are on supervised release or pobation. Either contact your prior lawyer, or consult with an experienced criminal defense lawyer licensed to practice law in PA to get the permission you need to transfer the supervision to CA before you move. Good luck.
