United States v. Raffi Donoyan

Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

In these consolidated appeals, Raffi Ars-hak Donoyan appeals from the district court’s judgments and challenges the revocation of supervised release. We have ju *645 risdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.

Donoyan contends that the district court abused its discretion by revoking his supervised release based on the finding that he violated Central District of California General Order 01-05'. This contention is unpersuasive. General Order 01-05 required Donoyan to maintain “one personal checking account” and to disclose records of “all other bank accounts, including any business accounts.” The record amply supports the district court’s conclusion that Donoyan’s Bank of America account was a business account that he was required to report. See 18 U.S.C. § 3583(e)(3); United States v. King, 608 F.3d 1122, 1129 (9th Cir. 2010). Accordingly, the district court did not abuse its discretion by revoking Donoyan’s supervised release based on his failure to disclose the account. See United States v. Perez, 526 F.3d 543, 547 (9th Cir. 2008). Further, we decline to require the district court to apply the rule of lenity. See United States v. Bland, 961 F.2d 123, 128 (9th Cir. 1992) (“The rule of lenity does not permit us to create an ambiguity where none exists.”).

AFFIRMED.
