    v.
    MEMORANDUM*
    ROYAL GENE JONES,
    Defendant - Appellant.
    Appeal from the United States District Court
    for the District of Montana
    Charles C. Lovell, District Judge, Presiding
    Submitted February 18, 2014**
    Before:        ALARCÓN, O’SCANNLAIN, and FERNANDEZ, Circuit Judges.
    Royal Gene Jones appeals from the district court’s order denying his motion
    to modify his conditions of supervised release. We have jurisdiction under 
    28 U.S.C. § 1291
    , and we affirm.
    *
    This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent
    except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
    **
    The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision
    without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).
    Jones argues that the district court erred by failing to consider the goals of
    
    18 U.S.C. § 3624
    (c) when it denied his motion seeking permission to reside in
    Wyoming while on supervised release, which the district court construed as a
    motion for transfer of jurisdiction over his supervised release under 
    18 U.S.C. § 3605
    . This argument is unpersuasive. By its own terms, section 3624(c) applies
    to prerelease custody, not supervised release. See 
    18 U.S.C. § 3624
    (c)(1).
    Moreover, because the District of Wyoming did not accept jurisdiction over Jones,
    the district court properly concluded that he did not satisfy the statutory
    requirements of section 3605. See United States v. Ohler, 
    22 F.3d 857
    , 858-59 (9th
    Cir. 1994).
    AFFIRMED.
