United States v. Darrin Dent

Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Darrin Dent appeals from the district court’s judgment and challenges two conditions of supervised release imposed as part of his sentence imposed following his guilty-plea conviction for conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute a controlled substance, in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 846. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review the legality of a sentence de novo, see United States v. Napier, 468 F.3d 1040, 1042 (9th Cir. 2006), and we affirm.

Dent contends that two special conditions of supervised release included in the written judgment must be modified or stricken because they were not included in the oral pronouncement of sentencing. We disagree. The written judgment controls because it did not add any substantive conditions to Dent’s sentence that went beyond what Dent and his counsel could have anticipated from the court’s statements at the sentencing hearing. See id. at 1043.

AFFIRMED.
