1 The Honorable Stephanie M. Rose, Chief Judge, United States District Court for the Southern District of Iowa. term of 11 months in prison, with no term of supervision to follow, as requested by the parties. The district court determined after a hearing that the government had established by a preponderance of the evidence that Brown committed an assault and violated a no-contact order, both in violation of the conditions of his supervised release. Following our review of the proceedings, we conclude that the district court did not commit clear error or abuse its discretion. See 18 U.S.C. § 3583(e)(3) (authorizing court to revoke term of supervised release if it finds by preponderance of evidence that defendant violated condition of supervision); United States v. Black Bear, 542 F.3d 249, 252 (8th Cir. 2008) (decision to revoke supervised release is reviewed for abuse of discretion and subsidiary finding as to whether violation occurred is reviewed for clear error).

The judgment is affirmed, and counsel’s motion to withdraw is granted. ______________________________
