This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3.
Christopher Jordan appeals an order of the district court revoking his term of supervised release. Jordan contends that the district court abused its discretion and committed reversible errors of law and fact in finding that he had violated seven conditions of his supervision.
We review for an abuse of discretion a district court's decision to revoke a term of supervised release. United States v. Verduzco, 330 F.3d 1182, 1184 (9th Cir. 2003). Under 18 U.S.C. § 3583(e)(3), a district court may "revoke a term of supervised release . . . if the court . . . finds by a preponderance of the evidence that the defendant violated a condition of supervised release." 18 U.S.C. § 3583(e)(3). Therefore, revocation of a term of supervised release can be "based upon only one violation." United States v. Daniel, 209 F.3d 1091, 1094 (9th Cir. 2000).
At his revocation hearing in the district court, Jordan admitted that he had violated two conditions of his supervision: namely, operating a motor vehicle with a suspended or revoked driver's license and failing to make restitution payments. Because Jordan admitted to two violations, the district court did not abuse its discretion in revoking Jordan's term of supervised release. See, e.g., United States v. Jeremiah, 493 F.3d 1042, 1045 (9th Cir. 2007) (upholding the revocation of appellant's term of supervised release on the sole basis that appellant had "missed making at least some full restitution payments"). We therefore need not address Jordan's challenges to several other violations found by the district court.
The order of the district court is
