Before: PAEZ, BEA, and MURGUIA, Circuit Judges.
Eric Michael Harris appeals from the district court’s judgment and
challenges the 12-month term of supervised release imposed upon revocation of

inability to adhere to mental health treatment and medication, and consequently,
the district court abused its discretion by imposing continued supervision as part of
his supervised release revocation sentence. The 12-month term of supervised
release is substantively reasonable in light of the 18 U.S.C. § 3583(c) factors and
the totality of the circumstances, including the need to rehabilitate Harris and
protect the public. See Gall v. United States, 552 U.S. 38, 51 (2007). Harris’s
argument that he is unamenable to supervision does not render the sentence
substantively unreasonable. See United States v. Hurt, 345 F.3d 1033, 1036 (9th
Cir. 2003) (“A violation of the conditions of supervised release does not obviate
the need for further supervision, but rather confirms the judgment that supervision
was necessary.”).
AFFIRMED.
