United States v. Mark Elk Shoulder

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit
United States v. Mark Elk Shoulder, 503 F. App'x 509 (9th Cir. 2012)
Goodwin, Wallace, Fisher

United States v. Mark Elk Shoulder

Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Mark Stevens Elk Shoulder appeals from the district court’s judgment revoking his supervised release. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.

Elk Shoulder contends that the district court abused its discretion when it revoked his supervised release for violating the condition of supervised release prohibiting him from being in the company of a child under the age of 18. Contrary to Elk Shoulder’s contention, the record supports the conclusion that his contact with the child was not incidental or unknowing. The district court did not abuse its discretion in finding by a preponderance of the evidence that Elk Shoulder violated a condition of his supervised release. See United States v. Perez, 526 F.3d 543, 547 (9th Cir . 2008).

AFFIRMED.
