United States v. Sigmond

MEMORANDUM ** Hugo Montoya Sigmond appeals from the sentence imposed upon him following the revocation of supervised release. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291 , and we affirm. Montoya Sigmond contends that the revocation of supervised release and sentence imposed thereafter must be reversed because the supervised release statute violates the Constitution. We reject this contention because neither the imposition of nor the revocation of supervised release violates the Sixth Amendment. See United States v. Huerta-Pimental, 445 F.3d 1220 (9th Cir.2006). Montoya Sigmond also contends that the district court erred by delegating to the probation officer the authority to determine the number of drug tests to which he must submit and which substance abuse treatment program he would have to attend. To the extent that Montoya Sigmond challenges the conditions of supervised release imposed by the district court on July 19, 2004, we conclude that the district court erred only in not determining the maximum number of non-treatment drug tests to which Montoya Sigmond must submit while on supervised release. See United States v. Stephens, 424 F.3d 876, 884 (9th Cir.2005). *806 Accordingly, we vacate the condition of supervised release stating that Montoya Sigmond will be subjected to “at least two periodic drug tests” and remand to the district court to determine the maximum number of drug tests to which Montoya Sigmond must submit while on supervised release. AFFIRMED in part and SENTENCE VACATED in part and REMANDED. This disposition is not appropriate for publication and may not be cited to or by the courts of this circuit except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
