Brian Richard Schweitzer was convicted in 2001 of assault upon a federal officer in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 111. He now appeals from the district court’s decision to revoke his supervised release and sentence him to twenty-four months’ imprisonment.

Schweitzer claims that, because the warrant for his arrest was not based on sworn allegations, the district court lacked jurisdiction under 18 U.S.C. § 3583© to revoke his supervised release after the period of supervised release had expired. See United States v. Vargas-Amaya, 389 F.3d 901, 906 (9th Cir.2004). However, the district court did not need a warrant — sworn or unsworn — to revoke Schweitzer’s supervised release because, at the time of Schweitzer’s arrest and revocation hearing, the period of supervised release had not yet expired. See 18 U.S.C. §§ 3583(e)(3) & 3606; United States v. Murguia-Oliveros, 421 F.3d 951, 952-53 (9th Cir.2005). Athough Schweitzer’s period of supervised release was originally scheduled to expire on November 25, 2004, the period was tolled for over three years while Schweitzer was in state custody. See 18 U.S.C. § 3624(e); United States v. Schmidt, 99 F.3d 315, 319 (9th Cir.1996), overruled on other grounds by United States v. Palomba, 182 F.3d 1121, 1123 (9th Cir.1999). Independently, the period of supervised release was tolled while Schweitzer remained a fugitive for having violated the conditions of his supervised release. See Murguia-Oliveros, 421 F.3d at 955. Both periods of tolling far exceeded the interval between the originally scheduled expiration date and the date of the revocation hearing.

AFFIRMED.
