PER CURIAM.

Adeniji A. Adaralegbe, a federal prisoner, appeals from the district court&s1 order revoking his supervised release and imposing 10 months imprisonment. While Adaralegbe was serving a supervised release term for a prior conviction, he was arrested and charged with three counts of forgery and one count of fraudulent practice in violation of Iowa law. The district court held a revocation hearing and, after considering the testimony of several witness and the exhibits that were introduced,

1 The Honorable Charles R. Wolle, Chief Judge, United States District Court for the Southern District of Iowa. revoked Adaralegbe&s supervised release. On appeal, Adaralegbe argues that the government failed to present sufficient evidence to show he committed the charged violations of Iowa law underlying the revocation of his supervised release.

After considering the evidence as a whole, we are satisfied that it was sufficient to permit the district court to find by a preponderance of the evidence that Adaralegbe committed the charged violations of Iowa law. See 18 U.S.C § 3583(e)(3) (court may revoke defendant&s supervised release if court finds by preponderance of the evidence that defendant violated supervised release condition).

Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the district court.
