NOT FOR PUBLICATION FILED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS AUG 27 2024 MOLLY C. DWYER, CLERK U.S. COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, No. 23-2354 D.C. No. Plaintiff - Appellee, 2:11-cr-00454-RCJ-CWH-1 v. MEMORANDUM* JAMES GERARD BOYLE, Defendant - Appellant.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Nevada Robert Clive Jones, District Judge, Presiding Submitted August 20, 2024** Before: S.R. THOMAS, RAWLINSON, and COLLINS, Circuit Judges.

James Gerard Boyle appeals from the district court’s order denying his motion for early termination of supervised release under 18 U.S.C. § 3583(e)(1).

We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.

We need not resolve the parties’ dispute over whether this appeal is barred

* This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3. ** The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2). by the appeal waiver in Boyle’s plea agreement because, even assuming that the waiver does not apply, Boyle has not shown he is entitled to relief.

Contrary to Boyle’s assertion, the district court expressly considered his arguments, including his substantial compliance with the terms of his release.

Nonetheless, the court concluded that early termination was unwarranted in light of Boyle’s violation of the terms of his supervision just one month after his release, his potential for recidivism, and the reasons asserted by the government. The court also emphasized that Boyle had agreed to a term of lifetime supervision, and “compliance with the conditions of supervised release is demanded—not rewarded.” The court sufficiently explained its reasons for denying Boyle’s motion and did not abuse its broad discretion in denying relief. See 18 U.S.C. § 3583(e)(1); United States v. Emmett, 749 F.3d 817, 819-22 (9th Cir. 2014).

AFFIRMED.
