UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. David C. JACQUOT, Defendant-Appellant.
MEMORANDUM **
David C. Jacquot appeals from the district court's order denying his motion for transfer of his supervised release to the District of Idaho. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.
A district court has discretion whether to transfer to another district jurisdiction over a person on supervised release pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3605. See United States v. Ohler, 22 F.3d 857, 858-59 (9th Cir. 1994). The district court's conclusion that its familiarity with the facts of Jacquot's case counseled against transfer here was not “illogical, implausible, or without support in inferences that may be drawn from the record.” United States v. Hinkson, 585 F.3d 1247, 1262 (9th Cir. 2009) (en banc). Thus, the district court reasonably exercised its discretion to deny transfer. Moreover, Jacquot has not shown that the district court's denial deprived him of access to the court; Jacquot's assertion that he will not be able to litigate effectively in the Southern District of California a yet-to-be-filed motion for early termination of supervision is entirely speculative.
AFFIRMED.
