UNITED STATES v. RODRIGUEZ (2020)

Juan Ramon Rodriguez pled guilty to being a felon in possession of a firearm. He was sentenced to 87 months in prison and three years of supervised release. Now, for the first time on appeal, he challenges a condition of supervised release included in his written judgment.

We review for plain error because Rodriguez had an opportunity to object and failed to do so when the district court orally adopted both the presentence report (PSR), which contained the challenged condition, and a court-wide standing order that also listed the challenged condition. See United States v. Diggles, 957 F.3d 551, 560-61 (5th Cir. 2020) (en banc), cert. denied, 2020 WL 6551832 (U.S. Nov. 9, 2020) (No. 20-5836); United States v. Grogan, 977 F.3d 348, 353-54 (5th Cir. 2020). Based on the record, the district court's oral adoption of both the PSR and the standing order satisfied the requirement that the court orally pronounce the conditions of supervised release. See Diggles, 957 F.3d at 560; Grogan, 977 F.3d at 353–54. We are therefore unpersuaded that Rodriguez has demonstrated any reversible plain error with respect to the challenged condition. See Diggles, 957 F.3d at 560; Grogan, 977 F.3d at 353–54.

AFFIRMED.
