He argues the district 1 The Honorable David Gregory Kays, United States District Judge for the Western District of Missouri. court plainly erred by imposing a special condition related to substance abuse testing, because the condition is overbroad and he has no documented substance abuse. Upon careful review, we find no reversible plain error. See United States v. Jackson, 33 F.4th 523, 528 (8th Cir. 2022) (per curiam) (standard of review); see also United States v.
